The three countries condemned the recent escalation of violence and appealed for peace in the Nagorno-Karabakh area.

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan rejected what he called interference in the Caucasus, saying that they haven’t cared about the region’s situation for 30 years. He said a sustainable peace can only be reached if Armenian forces withdraw from Nagorno-Karabakh.
