Turkey’s parliament granted the government permission to deploy peacekeepers to ally Azerbaijan to monitor a cease-fire deal between the country and Armenia aiming to end the conflict over the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region.
Turkey’s presidency submitted a motion to parliament on Monday, November 16, to allow the government to deploy troops to Azerbaijan, state-run Anadolu news agency reported.
Armenia’s prime minister said Wednesday that Azerbaijan’s aggressive stance in the 25-day fighting over Nagorno-Karabakh leaves no room for diplomacy, and urged citizens to sign up as military volunteers to protect their country.
