Reminding that the flag of the TRNC was flown in Shusha during the OTS Summit, Aliyev said, “We are always stand with our brothers. Our policy has always been clear. We have no other agenda on this issue. We only think about how we can help our brothers preserve their statehood. They deserve this both historically and through their actions.”
