Remaining true to its policy of being the “little brother Azerbaijan’s guardian,” Turkey has issued a statement with respect to the launch of Nagorno-Karabakh Republic capital city’s Stepanakert Airport.
Official Ankara strongly condemned the opening of the airport and it believes this to be a provocative action because this will “harm the peaceful settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.” And this is why Turkey “calls for backing from steps that could have an impact on regional stability,” Turkish MFA’s respective statement notes, 1news.az News Agency of Azerbaijan reports.
To note, however, Turkey—which exterminated 1.5 million Armenians simply because of their national belonging, which occupied a part of Cyprus, and, now, provokes the attack against Syria—is wearing a sheep’s clothing and reproaching another state on charges of destabilizing the region. And the opening of a civil airport is the reason for this reproach.
As per official Ankara, the regulating of transport communications—whose objective is to assist the development of Nagorno-Karabakh—is an “obstacle to stability.”
At the same time, Turkey has reacted neither to Azerbaijan’s unbridled arms race nor its refusal to remove snipers from the line of contact nor even its glorification of the murderer of an Armenian army officer in Budapest.
