Armenia will come closer to peace because it has been freed from the captivity of foreign forces and the Diaspora. Erdogan

President of Turkey R. T. Erdogan said in his speech on the high-level observation day of the "Efes-2024" military exercise in Turkey. "We continue our work so that peace, tranquility and stability prevail in a wide geography stretching from Pakistan to Afghanistan, from Libya to Somalia and Sudan, from the Turkic republics to the Balkans. We do not separate the security of all these countries, which we describe as our heart/central geography, from the security of our nation. With the liberation of Karabakh after 30 years, a window of historical opportunity has been opened for lasting peace in our region. We think that it should not be wasted. The more Armenia is freed from the captivity of foreign forces and the Diaspora, the closer it will be to peace. The Armenian people must see and understand that their future lies not with those who read gazelles and instigators from outside, but with their neighbors, with whom they will live and live together for centuries and must do the necessary with courage."
