“Nagorno-Karabakh issue is a bleeding wound for Turkey as for Azerbaijan and unless Armenia ends the occupation of the Azerbaijani territories it will be impossible to resolve it, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in an interview with AZERTAC, APA and Trend new agencies.

President Erdogan stated that the occupation should be immediately ended based on the principles of territorial integrity, sovereignty and inviolability of borders of Azerbaijan.

"We also strongly condemn the recent provocations targeting the civilians along with Armenia's occupation policy. Such actions can in no way help ensuring peace in the region," he said.

"We do believe that the international community, especially the Minsk Group, should work more actively to solve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. As in every matter, Turkey will continue to stand next with Azerbaijan and support its fair position," the Turkish President added.
