Following the operation launched by Azerbaijan against Armenian troops in Karabakh, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan visited the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic. Welcomed with an official ceremony at the Supreme Assembly of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, Erdoğan had a one-on-one meeting with Aliyev. After the 1.5-hour meeting, the two leaders laid the foundation of the Iğdır-Nakhchivan Natural Gas Pipeline in Nakhchivan.
“We expect Armenia to take the hand of peace extended to it and take sincere steps,” said Erdoğan at the joint press conference held after the meeting.
