After Erdogan’s ‘just like we entered Karabakh’ speech, Baku claims no Turkish troops were involved

The Azeri Defense Ministry has claimed that Turkish troops were not involved in their attack against Nagorno-Karabakh in 2020 and that Ankara’s support to Baku was simply “political.”

The statement was issued after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan threatened to invade Israel to help Palestinians in Gaza, saying “just like we entered Karabakh, just like we entered Libya, we might do similar to them.”

In the statement, the Azeri Defense Ministry again claimed that Turkiye and Pakistan provided only what it described as “political support” to Baku during the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war.
