Diplomatic efforts fail to calm Nagorno-Karabakh clash: Live news

Turkey supports efforts for a peaceful solution to the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh as long as they account for Azerbaijan's legitimate demands, a spokesman for the Turkish presidency said.

"We call on the Minsk Group to come up with a timetable and a new proposal that is actionable, that has specific guidelines to end the current round of hostilities but most importantly also a way to end the occupation of Azeri lands by Armenia, which has been the root cause of this problem," government spokesperson Ibrahim Kalin told Al Jazeera.

"The Minsk Group, which was established almost 30 years ago, has done very little to bring to an end this frozen conflict in the southern Caucasus. It's time to come up with a new road map. That's what the Azeris have been demanding and what we've been supporting. Yes to a ceasefire, but a ceasefire must be sustainable."

"The only way to make it sustainable is to talk about Armenia's occupation of Azeri lands."

Azerbaijan on Thursday recalled its ambassador to Greece for consultations amid conflict with ethnic Armenian forces around Nagorno-Karabakh, the Azeri foreign ministry said.

"We brought to the attention of the Greek Foreign Ministry information from open sources about the arrival of Armenian citizens from foreign countries, including from Greece, to the occupied territories of Azerbaijan to participate in military operations," the ministry said in a statement.

Armenia denied the allegations and Athens had recalled its ambassador to Azerbaijan on Wednesday after what it said were "unfounded and offensive" allegations by the Azeri government that Greece tolerated militants on its soil.
