ArmInfo. "I don't think Russia intends to delay the creation of the Zangezur corridor." This was stated by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. He noted that Russia, on the contrary, intends to support the project. "We will soon have a bilateral meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin," Erdogan said.
The President of Turkey stressed the need "for Armenia to take steps that would increase confidence in it." And in this vein, Erdogan called on Armenia to transfer maps of mined territories to Azerbaijan. "The transfer of maps of mined territories by Armenia to Azerbaijan will be an important step in this direction," Erdogan said, APA reports.
At the same time, the Turkish leader, for some reason, ignored the topic of Azerbaijan's keeping more than two hundred Armenian prisoners of war, whose transfer to Armenia could also be a positive step towards creating an atmosphere of trust between the parties. This could also be facilitated by the withdrawal of the Azerbaijani military from the sovereign territories of Armenia. For some reason, Erdogan chose to ignore the fact that the atrocities of the Azerbaijani military on the borderland only contribute to an increase in tension between the parties, and in no way contribute to peace and stability in the region.
