When former President Abulfaz Elchibey asked for 4 helicopters, we could not send them. But today Turkey was able to say to the President of Azerbaijan, "We are with you on the Karabakh issue."

Axar.az reports the statement came from the Deputy Chairman of the ruling Justice and Development Party Binali Yildirim.

"Turkey has not come to this position easily. We look at people's tears, not their eye colors. These tears are always the same color. That is why we, as Turkish states, will always be united, " Yildirim said.

It should be noted that during the occupation of Kalbajar in 1993, the then President of Azerbaijan Abulfaz Elchibey said that he wanted two civilian helicopters from Turkish leader Suleyman Demirel, but Turkey could not provide civilian helicopters without the consent of NATO.
