BAKU — Turkey will continue to support Azerbaijan in the settlement of the Karabakh conflict, Turkish PM Ahmet Davutoglu said December 3 during a joint press conference with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in Baku.

He said one of the most important issues for Turkey is the liberation of the Azerbaijani territories occupied by Armenia. “Problems are solved on the basis of mutual respect for borders. There are difficulties arising from the occupation of 20 percent of Azerbaijani territory.” Davutoglu said.
