"In any case, the Turkish soldier will be in Karabakh." The statement came from Turkish President's Spokesman Ibrahim Kalin while answering questions on NTV's "Private Reporting" program. "The first stage of the talks is over. The Russian side learned our views. Now they will be given the necessary instructions from the Kremlin. Our soldiers, defense, foreign ministries and the MIT are doing this. We are waiting for the completion of discussions on the methods of operation in the coming days, where and how, who will do what. Turkish soldiers will be there in any case. We are already there.
Due to our very private relations with Azerbaijan, we have military training and cooperation agreements from the very beginning. In that sense, we are already there. The bill was also adopted. We will continue to be there as an observer force, "Kalin said. Kalyn said that the normalization of relations with Armenia in the medium and long term would be positive for the whole region, which is primarily in the interests of Armenia. Noting the importance of the corridor connecting Nakhchivan and Azerbaijan, Kalin stressed that the opening of the corridor is at least as valuable as the liberation of Karabakh.
