According to the statement made by the Ministry of National Defense, Minister Hulusi Akar made evaluations regarding the attacks of Armenian forces targeting the civilian settlements of Azerbaijan.
Akar said, "The occupying Armenia has attacked Azerbaijan by violating ceasefire and has shown that it is still seeking provocation."
"The biggest obstacle to peace and stability in the Caucasus is the aggressive attitude of Armenia and it must immediately cease this aggression that will throw the region on fire. In the struggle to protect the territorial integrity, we will stand by our Azerbaijani Turkish brothers to the end. We strongly condemn this vile attack of Armenia."
