Turkish president supports Azerbaijan at UN General Assembly  

ArmInfo. Karabakh is Azerbaijani territory, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on  Tuesday, asserting that the imposition of any other status for the region would never be accepted. 

"We have supported the negotiation process between Azerbaijan and  Armenia from the beginning.  However, we see that Armenia has not  fully seized this historic opportunity," Erdogan said in his address  at the 78th session of UN General Assembly in New York.

He expressed Turkiye's expectation that Armenia fulfill its  commitments, especially those related to the opening of the Zangezur  corridor, a key planned unimpeded road through Armenian territory  connecting Azerbaijan to its Nakhchivan exclave.

"As everyone now accepts, Karabakh is Azerbaijani territory. The  imposition of any other status will never be accepted," Erdogan  underlined, adding that the primary goal should now be peaceful  coexistence for all, including Armenians, on Azerbaijani territory.

Turkiye supports Azerbaijan's steps to preserve its territorial  integrity, he said.
