Cavusoglu: Azerbaijan achieves important gain on battleground and table

Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu said that a deal to end more than a month of fighting in Nagorno-Karabakh had secured important gains for its close ally Azerbaijan in the conflict with Armenia.

"Brotherly Azerbaijan has achieved an important gain on the battleground and table. I sincerely congratulate this sacred success," Çavuşoğlu said on Twitter. "We will continue to be one nation, one spirit with our Azeri brothers."

"Armenia was the one that started the war. Now, it had to give up. Turkey will continue its support for Azerbaijan," Daily Sabah cited Çavuşoğlu as saying.

On November 9, Russian President Vladimir Putin, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan signed a joint statement on a complete ceasefire in Nagorno-Karabakh. The Russian leader said the Azerbaijani and Armenian sides would remain on the positions they hold and Russian peacekeepers would be deployed to the region. Besides, Armenia and Azerbaijan should carry out the exchange of prisoners of war and the bodies of those killed. Aghdam region will be returned to Azerbaijan before November 20, Kelbajar region - before November 15, Lachin region - before December 1.
