Turkish Foreign Minister Feridun Sinirlioğlu will pay an official visit to Azerbaijan on Sept. 15-16, the Foreign Ministry said.
During his visit, Sinirlioğlu will discuss Turkish-Azerbaijani relations and regional and international developments, including the Nagorno-Karabakh issue, with his counterpart Elman Memmedyarov, the ministry said in a statement. Sinirlioğlu is also expected to meet with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Prime Minister Artur Rasizade.
In another statement, the Foreign Ministry stated that the "local elections” that are scheduled for Sunday in Nagorno-Karabakh are "a clear breach of principles of international law, UN Security Council resolutions and the principles of the OSCE [Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe].”
The ministry said that such actions impair efforts to reach a peaceful and lasting solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, adding that Turkey will not recognize this illegal election that is another violation of Azerbaijan's sovereignty and territorial integrity. The ministry stressed that Turkey will continue to support efforts to reach a fair and lasting solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
