Erdogan Reaffirms Karabakh as Azerbaijani Territory on Remembrance Day
On September 27, 2026, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan publicly reaffirmed that the Karabakh region is Azerbaijani territory during a Remembrance Day ceremony. The statement came amid ongoing tensions between Azerbaijan and Armenia over the disputed region. The move was seen as a direct challenge to Armenian claims and a reinforcement of Azerbaijani sovereignty.
Erdogan made the declaration during a ceremony in Turkey, emphasizing the historical and legal status of Karabakh as part of Azerbaijan. The statement was widely reported by both Turkish and international media, with no immediate contradiction from Armenian officials. The timing of the announcement, coinciding with Remembrance Day, was interpreted as a strategic move to bolster nationalistic sentiment and international support for Azerbaijan's position.
