The Turkish Navy’s warship TCG BÜYÜKADA has arrived at Karachi Port for a scheduled visit aimed at boosting maritime ties with Pakistan.
The visit, part of Türkiye’s MİLGEM project, follows a stop in Oman and will continue until May 7. Officials from both navies welcomed the vessel. Pakistani media highlighted the visit as a sign of growing defense cooperation amid regional tensions.
Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova confirmed that Russia officially recognizes Karabakh as part of Azerbaijan. The statement followed backlash over Russian Vice President Vladimir Medinsky’s remarks referring to the region as “disputed.”
Zakharova clarified that Medinsky was discussing the humanitarian aspect of the conflict and urged against misinterpreting his words. Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry criticized Medinsky’s comments and reminded that Russia’s official stance recognizes Karabakh as Azerbaijani territory.
