Turkey fully supports Azerbaijan: Turkish Foreign Ministry

The Turkish Foreign Ministry condemned the recent provocation of Armenia against Azerbaijan.

''We strictly condemn the attacks carried out by Armenia. The attacks violate international law and pose a threat to the peaceful population. With the attacks, Armenia made us see that it is the main obstacle for the regional peace and stability,'' reads the statement by the Turkish Foreign Ministry.

"Turkey fully supports Azerbaijan and will render the required support to it," the comment reads.

Tensions have been observed at the Azerbaijan-Armenia border since the early morning.

Azerbaijani media say that Armenia carried out a large-scale attack this morning and killed peaceful citizens.

Azerbaijani Defense Ministry reports that Azerbaijani troops opened fire in response.
