"Karabakh Victory opened a new page in history of the Caucasus. I believe that the history of the region will form in new direction," said Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan speaking at a joint news conference with President Ilham Aliyev in Baku.
Erdogan went on to say that the Azerbaijani administration will unleash an era of progress in Karabakh within three to five years.
Offering an olive branch to Armenia, he said they are ready to start fresh cooperation with Yerevan for the sake of lasting peace in the region.
He touched upon the French National Assembly's resolution recognizing Nagorno-Karabakh as a separate republic.
"Even [Armenian Prime Minister Nikol] Pashinyan doesn't accept it," he said, adding that French President Emmanuel Macron has "not learned politics yet."
He said France constantly tried to make contacts with Aliyev during the clashes and also reached out to Turkey, but Ankara did not return the phone calls.
