BAKU, MARCH 7, ARMENPRESS: Turkey’s ambassador to Azerbaijan said
his country would render military assistance to Azerbaijan in case
a new war resumed between it and Armenia if Baku and Ankara signed
a military union agreement.

The ambassador, Turan Morali, was quoted by APA news agency as saying
that his government did not, however, support a military resolution
of the Armenian-Azerbaijani dispute over Nagorno-Karabakh.

“At any rate both sides should strive for peace,” he was quoted
as saying.

He said under a Turkish-Azeri agreement on military cooperation
Ankara provides a large-scale and diverse assistance to Azerbaijani
armed forces.
