Turkey and Azerbaijan are negotiating the creation of a joint Turkic army. This was announced by the speaker of the Turkish parliament Mustafa Shentop during a press conference in Ganja.

“Our idea is one nation, two states. And it will always be so. In this regard, many negotiations and agreements have taken place, ” he said (quoted by Sputnik Azerbaijan).

According to him, within the framework of the agreements, in particular, military exercises of the two countries are also held. He noted that Baku and Ankara are also taking steps to strengthen economic cooperation. “It is known that in March of this year, an agreement on preferential trade was approved between Turkey and Azerbaijan. And at the moment, work is underway on a free trade agreement. After signing, this document will further strengthen our economic ties, ” the politician said.

Speaking about the situation on the border of Armenia and Azerbaijan, Shentop said that the shelling of the border areas of Azerbaijan by the Armenian military is a threat to the security of the region, and can also lead to a regional war.

“If these provocations do not stop, even more bitter consequences are inevitable. The international community should also call on Armenia to stop provocations that pose a threat to peace in the region, ” he added.

The Speaker of the parliament also noted the importance of opening the Zangezur corridor for both Azerbaijan and Turkey. According to him, this will contribute to the creation of a land route between the main part of Azerbaijan and Nakhichevan, Azerbaijan and Turkey, as well as between Turkey and Asian countries. “A corresponding agreement has been reached, and each party must keep its word. The corridor should be open, ” Shentop concluded.

The dispute between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the status of Nagorno-Karabakh has been going on for almost 30 years. At the end of September last year, the fighting between them resumed: the sides accused each other of provocations and offensive and imposed martial law. The capture of the strategically important city of Shushi by Azerbaijan played a key role in the conflict. On the same day,When Karabakh recognized the loss of control over it, the leaders of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia signed a cease-fire agreement. According to one of the points of the agreement, Russian peacekeepers entered Karabakh. It also stated that Yerevan should transfer several districts and settlements in Karabakh to Baku’s control.
