Vice Speaker of Armenian Parliament: "Turkey openly supports Azerbaijan's racist policy at the same time striving to EU"

Turkish PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan's statement in support of Azerbaijan once again proves that the world community deals with a country that openly supports Armenophobia and racism, says Eduard Sharmazanov, Vice Speaker of the Armenian Parliament, a member of the Republican Party of Armenia.

"Therefore, it is clear why Ramil Safarov, the Azerbaijani officer who murdered the sleeping Armenian officer, had underwent training at Turkish military bases in the territory of the occupied Northern Cyprus.  However, I think that Turkey and Azerbaijan did not forget that the people of Artsakh won the war unleashed by Azerbaijan and proved its right to live in a free and independent country despite Turkey's military and financial assistance to Azerbaijan,"
Sharmazanov said.

Earlier, Erdogan said at a joint press conference with the Azerbaijani President Ilham Alivey at the end of a meeting of the Turkey-Azerbaijan High Level Strategic Cooperation Council in Qabala that as an intervener in the process, Ankara will continue to be on the side of Azerbaijan. He said that the Turkish government will never take a step to open the Turkey-Armenia border unless the Karabakh conflict is resolved.

China and the European Union have issued a joint call to action on climate change during an otherwise tense bilateral summit in Beijing on Thursday 24 July but major disagreements remain over trade and the war in Ukraine.  The two sides issued a joint statement on climate change, urging more emission cuts and greater use of green technology and affirming their support for the Paris Climate Agreement as well as calling for strong action at the upcoming COP30 climate summit in Brazil. European Council President António Costa called on China to use its influence over Russia to bring an end to the war in Ukraine, a long-standing plea from European leaders that is likely to fall once again on deaf ears.
