Stepanakert: The degree of danger of Turkey`s regional role is  growing against the background of the growth of expansionist  ambitions of its leadership

ArmInfo.Turkey has long and actively tried to use the Azerbaijan-Karabakh conflict to advance its destructive foreign policy agenda in the South Caucasus, while  not only publicly expressing unconditional solidarity with  Azerbaijan, but also providing this country with its direct support,  including military character. This is stated in the statement of the  Artsakh Foreign Ministry.

At the same time, it is noted that if in the past Turkey played the  role of a shadow puppeteer who directed the actions of Azerbaijan,  now Ankara is directly involved in the internationally illegal acts  of the Azerbaijani authorities against the people of Artsakh,  encouraging the criminal actions of Baku, providing  military-political and informational support, providing weapons , in  particular, unmanned aerial vehicles and multiple launch rocket  systems, sending military specialists and recruiting mercenaries from  the Middle East to participate in the war against the Republic of  Artsakh.

"A glaring example of such aggressive behavior of Turkey is the  destruction of an Armenian plane by a Turkish F-16 fighter in the  airspace of the Republic of Armenia.

The degree of danger of Turkey's regional role is growing against the  background of the growth of the expansionist ambitions of the Turkish  leadership, based on phantom memories of the empire, which, before  ceasing to exist, carried out the first genocide in the 20th century  - the Armenian genocide of 1915-1923.  Together with ambitions, the  current Turkish authorities inherited from the empire that had sunk  into oblivion not only its policy, but also the criminal methods and  means of its implementation. It is noteworthy that the  Azerbaijani-Karabakh conflict arose in 1918 precisely as a result of  the military intervention of Turkish troops in the South Caucasus. In  continuation of the Armenian Genocide, Turkish troops invaded Artsakh  in 1918 and massacred the Armenian population of Shushi. However, all  attempts by Turkish troops to subjugate Artsakh to Azerbaijan, which  had a short history of independence, ended in complete failure. A  little over a hundred years later, Turkey is trying to turn history  back.  Turkey's essential role in Azerbaijan's committing crimes  against the people of Artsakh has sufficient documentary evidence and  is beyond doubt. Ankara's responsibility is not limited only to the  direct commission of crimes by the hands of the Azerbaijani  authorities, but also includes the control and management of criminal  acts both in the preparatory stages and during their commission.  Turkey's actions in the context of the Azerbaijan-Karabakh conflict  are more than just helping and inciting Azerbaijan to new crimes.  This position of the Turkish leaders is an integral part of criminal  behavior and testifies to the existence of an agreement between  Turkey and Azerbaijan to achieve a common goal through coordinated  steps and joint control over the implementation of their predatory  plans. The international community should fully realize that Turkey,  along with Azerbaijan, bears full responsibility for the violation of  peace and security in the region and should be equally called to  account for the consistent violation of international law and the UN  Charter.

After all these actions, Turkey can no longer be considered as a  member of the OSCE Minsk Group, as well as participate in any form in  activities related to the implementation of a mediation mission  within the OSCE for the settlement of the Azerbaijan-Karabakh  conflict. Turkey should be excluded from the OSCE Minsk Group, since  its presence in this international mediating structure will mean  encouraging destructive and criminal activities aimed at unleashing a  war against the Republic of Artsakh.  We emphasize again that in  conditions when Azerbaijan, led by Turkey, ignores the calls of the  international community to immediately stop hostilities and  consistently refuses to resolve the Azerbaijan- Karabakh conflict  exclusively by peaceful means, the international recognition of the  Republic of Artsakh will become a collective contribution of the  world community to the restoration of peace and security in the  region. and creating conditions for resolving all outstanding issues  through negotiations. In addition, the recognition of solid legal  foundations and legitimate results of the Artsakh people exercising  their inalienable right to self-determination will become an  effective factor in curbing the Turkish-Azerbaijani genocidal policy  towards the Republic of Artsakh, which neither Baku nor Ankara intend  to give up.  We believe that the international recognition of the  Republic of Artsakh fully fits into the framework of the political  and humanitarian obligations of the civilized world, and above all of  the countries that recognized and condemned the Armenian Genocide of  1915-1923, "the statement of the NKR Foreign Ministry says.
