Turkey to support Azerbaijan with all its means against Armenia’s attacks

Turkey has strongly condemned and reacted to Armenia’s military offensive against civilian targets on Azerbaijani territories, pledging full support with all its means to its regional ally in using its right to self-defense.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan expressed Ankara’s full support to Baku in a phone conversation with Azeri President İlham Aliyev.

All senior Turkish officials issued statements on Sept. 27 in support of Azerbaijan while slamming Armenian attacks as a clear violation of international law and crime against humanity.

“Launching a new attack against Azerbaijan, Armenia has once again shown that it constitutes the biggest threat against peace and comfort in the region. The Turkish people stand with their Azeri brothers with all its means as it has always been,” President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said on Twitter on Sept. 27.

Slamming the international community for “double standards and insufficient reaction” against the Armenian attacks, Erdoğan expressed disappointment with Minsk group’s efforts to find a resolution to the problem in the past 30 years.

Erdoğan said Turkey will boost its solidarity to Azerbaijan with the understanding of “two states one nation,” as he spoke to Aliyev on the phone.

Defense ministers speak by phone

Defense Minister Hulusi Akar communicated with his Azeri counterpart, Zakir Hasanov, in the wake of the Armenian attacks against Azeri lands.

“The occupying state Armenia has attacked Azerbaijan by violating the ceasefire and has shown that it’s seeking yet another provocation. The biggest obstacle in front of peace and stability in the Caucasus is Armenia’s aggression. It should immediately quit this aggression that can throw the entire region into fire,” Akar said on Twitter.

Condemning Armenia’s attack, Akar vowed that Turkey will continue to stand with Azerbaijan with all its means in its struggle to protect its territorial integrity.

Turkey and Azerbaijan held joint military exercises in the past two months in a show of unity and solidarity after the Armenian military attacked the Azeri military positions in Tovuk region in the north of Azeri lands.

Akar paid visits to Azerbaijan and coordinated defense and security cooperation between the two countries, which have developed a strong alliance under the motto of “two states one nation.”

Armenia biggest obstacle before peace

Foreign Ministry Spokesman Hami Aksoy issued a statement and expressed Turkey’s reaction on the attacks.

“We strongly condemn the Armenian attack which is a clear violation of international law and causing civilian casualties. With these attacks, Armenia has once again shown that it’s the biggest obstacle before regional peace and stability,” read a statement issued by Aksoy on Sept 27.

“Azerbaijan will definitely use its right to self-defense in order to protect its people and territorial integrity,” Aksoy said, adding that Turkey’s support to Azerbaijan in this process is full and will be displayed in any way Baku wishes.

Aksoy also called on the international community to stand with the Azeri people in light of Armenia’s attacks.

Çavuşoğlu speaks to Lavrov

In the meantime, Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu held a phone conversation with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on the escalation after the Armenian attacks. The two ministers have discussed ways to de-escalate tension in the region.

In a strongly worded statement, Parliament Speaker Mustafa Şentop has slammed Armenia for launching attacks against Azerbaijan, including civilian targets.

“Armenia has proven that it’s a terror state; not only a threat to Azerbaijan but to the entire regional peace,” Şentop said, adding that Armenia will be the responsible for the consequences of its attacks.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s chief foreign policy adviser and Spokesman İbrahim Kalın voiced his condemnation of the attacks on Twitter.

“We strongly condemn Armenia’s attack on Azerbaijan. Armenia has once again violated international law and shown that it has no interest in peace and stability. Turkey stands in full solidarity with Azerbaijan and unreservedly supports its right to self-defense,” he said.

Ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) Spokesperson Ömer Çelik also took to Twitter, condemning Armenia’s attack. “We vehemently condemn Armenia’s attack on Azerbaijan. Armenia has once against committed a provocation, ignoring law,” Çelik said in a tweet.

CHP voices support to Azerbaijani people

Ünal Çeviköz, the chief foreign policy adviser to main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, has expressed the social democrat party’s support to Azerbaijan against the latest Armenian attacks.

Expressing deep concerns and condemnation over the Armenian attacks, Çeviköz stressed that the CHP stands with the Azerbaijani people while calling on the government to actively engage in diplomacy for a peaceful resolution to the decades-old conflict.

“It’s not possible to resolve the years-long Nagorno Karabakh problem through war. For peace, it’s essential that Armenia withdraws its troops from Azerbaijan lands that it occupies,” he stated.

Those trying to intimidate Azerbaijan will regret it: Aliyev

Those trying to intimidate Azerbaijan will regret it, Azerbaijani leader İlham Aliyev said on Sept. 27, referring to the Armenian army's large-scale military provocations on the frontline early in the morning.

Aliyev in his address to the nation said Armenian armed forces fired on Azerbaijani settlements and military positions from several directions, using various types of weaponry, including heavy artillery.

"As a result of the enemy fire, there are casualties among the civilian population and our servicemen. Some people have been wounded. May Allah rest our martyrs in peace," he said, without mentioning any specific numbers on casualties.

Aliyev vowed to avenge the blood of martyrs, saying the Azerbaijani army continues retaliation on Armenian military positions, and that many units of its military equipment have been destroyed.

"This is another manifestation of Armenian fascism," he said.

The Azerbaijani leader added that besides the attacks, Armenia continues its illegal settlements in Azerbaijani territories.

"Azerbaijan defends its lands, [Upper] Karabakh belongs to Azerbaijan," Aliyev asserted.


Azerbaijan's Defense Ministry said on Sept. 27 it launched a "counteroffensive to suppress Armenia's combat activity and ensure the safety of the population," using tanks, artillery missiles, combat aviation, and drones.

It said Armenia had attacked civilian settlements and military positions along the “contact line,” a heavily-mined no-man’s-land that separates the Armenian-backed forces from Azeri troops in the region.

It said some civilians had been killed “as a result of the intensive shelling” by Armenia, and that Azerbaijan had taken retaliatory measures.

Hikmet Hajiyev, the senior adviser to Aliyev, accused Armenian forces of launching “deliberate and targeted” attacks along the front line.

Armenia declares martial law, military mobilization

In the meantime, Armenia on Sept. 27 declared martial law and a military mobilization over the heavy clashes.

"The government has decided to declare martial law and a total mobilization," Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan wrote on Facebook.

You really need to start adding contextual explanations to your links bro. "Հայկական զինուժը շարունակում է խոցել ադրբեջանական զինտեխնիկան" is literal gibberish to everyone on this board.

A Syrian fighter sent into combat with Azerbaijani forces in the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh has detailed the extent of foreign involvement in the new conflict with Armenia that, after six days of clashes, is taking on a regional dimension.

The deployment of 1,000 Syrian fighters working for a private Turkish security firm, as well as Ankara’s outspoken support for Azerbaijan in the worst fighting between the two neighbours since 1994, confirms Turkey’s rise as a regional power – and threatens to upset the fragile status quo in the Caucasus, long seen as Russia’s domain.

The fresh fighting showed no signs of abating on Friday as Armenia accused Azerbaijan of striking civilian infrastructure in Stepanakert, the main city in Nagorno-Karabakh, as well as targeting artillery fire at a bus carrying Russian and Armenian journalists.

Azerbaijan rejected a statement from Armenia saying Yerevan was ready to work with mediators for a ceasefire, saying Armenia must first withdraw its troops.

Ankara is now facing off with Moscow in three different theatres: the two countries support opposite sides in Syria, Libya and now Nagorno-Karabakh.

Turkey has longstanding cultural and economic ties with Azerbaijan. Russia has a military alliance with Armenia, but also maintains links to Baku’s ruling elite and sells weapons to both sides.

The fresh fighting and presence of hostile Syrian forces so close to its borders will also alarm Iran.


Several men in Syria’s last opposition stronghold of Idlib province told the Guardian this week that over the last month military commanders and brokers who claimed to represent Turkish security companies had offered them work guarding observation posts and oil and gas facilities in Azerbaijan on three- or six-month contracts.

They were offered around 10,000 Turkish lira (£1,000) a month – a huge sum of money for Syrians trapped by a decade of war and poverty.

Mustafa Khalid, who asked that his real name not be used because he was not authorised to speak to media, confirmed the previous reports, telling the Guardian he signed up on 18 September and was now stationed at a post on the line of contact which has come under sustained artillery fire since last Sunday.

The 23-year-old from Idlib city said he travelled as part of a contingent of 1,000 Syrian men from the Turkish-backed Sultan Murad, Suleiman Shah and Al Hamza divisions which left the Hawar Kilis border crossing with Turkey for a military base in Gaziantep on 23 September.

The next day they flew to Istanbul and then on to Azerbaijan via Turkish military cargo planes. Data from the Flight Radar website, which tracks aircraft movements, as well as geo-located pictures and coordinates sent to the Guardian, confirm his account.

Syrians posted to Nagorno-Karabakh appear be wearing the blue uniforms that are standard issue to Azerbaijani border guards.

“I was hesitant to come here at the beginning because I had no idea about this country and I don’t speak the language. I knew there were skirmishes between the two countries, but I didn’t know that I was coming to war. I thought it was just guard work,” Khalid said.

“I came here to make money and have a better life back in Syria where the living conditions are miserable. I consider this a job, nothing else.”

Around 200 people have already been killed in the clashes, including at least 10 Syrians and 30 civilians.

Both Turkey and Azerbaijan have denied the presence of Syrians in Nagorno-Karabakh. They have accused Armenia of deploying Syrian and Iraqi Kurdish militants to the area, but have not produced proof.

On Friday, the French president, Emmanuel Macron – already at odds with his Turkish counterpart, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, on several regional issues – said intelligence reports had established that 300 fighters from “jihadist groups” in Syria had passed through Turkey on the way to Azerbaijan, saying “a red line has been crossed” and demanding an explanation.

A template for the Syrian deployment to Nagorno-Karabakh was set last December, when the Guardian first reported that Ankara was facilitating the movement of Syrian mercenaries to Libya.

Between 10,000 and 16,000 Syrians from rebel groups in the Turkish-backed Syrian National Army (SNA) umbrella have rotated on short deployments to the north African state’s desert battlefields this year – including Khalid, who worked there for four months as part of a high-ranking Syrian commander’s personal guard.

Some factions of the SNA have been accused by rights groups of abducting and raping women, and other war crimes such as looting, in previous Turkish-backed offensives against Kurdish groups in Syria.

Turkish intervention in Libya has turned the tide of the war in favour of the Ankara-supported Government of National Accord at the expense of renegade general Khalifa Haftar, who is backed by Moscow.

“The interesting thing about the Turkish-Russian relationship is that despite the fact the two countries have clear differences on many issues, they are usually good at finding at least some common ground. With every added challenge, however, that gets more difficult,” said Sinan Ülgen, the chair of EDAM, an Istanbul-based think tank.

“Moscow has called for de-escalation in Nagorno-Karabakh so far… Saying that, there will be a red line for them somewhere. If this new incident escalates it will upset a fragile balance.”
