Vladimir Putin issued a joint call with Donald Trump and Emmanuel Macron for Armenians and Azerbaijanis to halt their worst fighting in decades over disputed land.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan set himself against the three powers, which act as the so-called Minsk Group of mediators that have tried without success to resolve the conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh for nearly three decades. The demand for a truce is “unacceptable” and the crisis will only end when Armenian forces have left Azerbaijani territory, he told Turkey’s parliament Thursday.
