He explained that Turkey is doing its best to provide support to Azerbaijan regarding the reconstruction of Karabakh.

He referred to the preparation of the “Karabakh Action Plan” and “Agricultural Action Plan” projects in the region with the support of Turkey.

He stated that 12 Turkish companies also contributed to the construction of Fuzuli Airport, which was recently opened.

He continued, “Turkish companies are also undertaking projects to build the land road and railway in the Zanzigzor Pass.”

The aforementioned corridor provides a new link between Turkey and Azerbaijan, as it crosses the territory of the Armenian province of Zanzjor, which separates the mainland of Azerbaijan and the Azerbaijani Nakhchivan Autonomous Region bordering Turkey.

On September 27, 2020, the Azerbaijani army launched an operation to liberate its occupied lands in the Karabakh region, following an attack by the Armenian army on civilian-populated areas.

After fierce battles that lasted 44 days, Russia announced on November 10, 2020, that Azerbaijan and Armenia reached a ceasefire agreement, providing for the restoration of Baku’s control over the occupied provinces.
