Assad Names Erdogan as Main Instigator of War in Nagorno-Karabakh

For Syrian President Bashar al Assad there’s nothing surprising in Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s behavior regarding the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. “Let’s be very clear and frank, Erdogan has supported terrorists in Syria, and he supports terrorists in Libya, and he was the main instigator and torch of the recent conflict that is still going on in Nagorno-Karabakh between Azerbaijan and Armenia,” he told Sputnik International in an interview. “Therefore, I will describe his behavior as dangerous, and for different reasons. First, because it reflects the behavior of the Muslim Brotherhood. The Muslim Brotherhood is an extremist terrorist organization. Secondly, because it ignites wars in different regions only to divert the attention of its local audience in Turkey from focussing on its behavior inside Turkey, especially after his blatant relationship with ISIS in Syria.”
