Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said on Monday that Armenia must immediately withdraw from Azeri lands which it is occupying and that it was time to end the crisis in Nagorno-Karabakh, a breakaway region inside Azerbaijan run by ethnic Armenians.
At least 21 people were killed on Monday in a second day of heavy clashes between Armenia and Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh that reportedly involved air power, missiles and heavy armour.
Erdogan was giving a speech in Istanbul.
