"They will be ambushed and they will have to answer for what they have done."
The statement came from Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar during an official meeting with Azerbaijani Deputy Defense Minister, Commander of the Air Force Ramiz Tahirov, Qadin.Net reports.
Speaking about the provocation carried out by Armenia in the direction of Tovuz region on the border with Azerbaijan since July 12, the Turkish minister said that Azerbaijan's grief is Turkey's grief: “We offer our condolences to our Azerbaijani brothers. I want to say that we are sure that their blood will not be left on the ground. We strongly condemn the attack in the Tovuz region of Azerbaijan. I want you all to know that all the pain you experience there is deeply felt here. "
H. Akar noted that Nagorno-Karabakh was occupied without any legal reason and illegally, which is unacceptable for Turkey: “We have said and will continue to say on every platform that it is impossible to accept. Everyone in Turkey, including our President, military and civilians, expresses our solidarity with our Azerbaijani brothers and brave people in all the struggles on this issue, and all our people share this feeling and thought. We wholeheartedly believe that we are two states, one nation. Our language, religion, history and understanding are one and the same. We are together in sorrow and pride. As Mr. President said from the very beginning, this is really a great initiative of the Armenians. "
The Minister stressed that the Republic of Turkey and the Turkish Armed Forces will continue to do their best: "Let no one doubt it!"
The meeting was also attended by Chief of General Staff of the Turkish Armed Forces Yasar Guler, Commander of the Land Forces Umit Dundar, Commander of the Air Force Hasan Kucukakyuz and Commander of the Navy Adnan Ozbal
