If Turkey had been as powerful in the 1990’s as it is today,
we wouldn’t be facing the conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh today,
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said.

Anadolu News Agency quotes the Turkish leader as reasserting the
country’s commitment to protect and take under responsibility not
only its own citizens but also old neighbors and partners.

Erdogan reportedly said that a powerful Turkish state would have
been able to do much more in the previous decades to rule out both
the Karabakh land dispute and the developments in the Middle East.
