A ceremony was held at the Turkish Cemetery in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan to celebrate the 101st anniversary of Victory Day of Türkiye. After wreaths were laid at the Turkish Martyrs’ Monument, Turkish Ambassador to Baku Cahit Bağcı signed the diary and delivered a speech in memory of the Azerbaijani martyrs who fought shoulder to shoulder with Turks in the War of Independence. The ceremony ended after carnations were laid on the tombs of the martyrs and a wreath was laid on the Azerbaijan Martyrs’ Monument.
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.
