The provocation of the Armenian armed forces on the state border in the direction of the Tovuz region of Azerbaijan and the shelling of settlements was met with great concern and anger in brotherly Turkey.

Letters of solidarity were sent to the chairman of the Azerbaijan Trade Unions Confederation, member of the Milli Majlis Sattar Mohbaliyev from the chairmen of the Turkish-Ish Confederation of Workers' Unions, HAK-Ish Confederation, Egitim-Sen Confederation and other unions.
In these letters, the leaders of the Turkish trade unions strongly condemned the provocation committed by Armenia. They expressed their condolences over the martyrdom of General Polad Hashimov and other servicemen of the Azerbaijani Army.
 The statements said that Armenia, which was looking for a new provocation, killed Azerbaijani servicemen, in return for which the Azerbaijani Army retaliated. It was noted that the aggressor Armenia and its supporters should know that Armenia, which continues its policy of aggression against Azerbaijan, will always receive its due response.
The leaders of the Turkish trade unions stressed that the talks were fruitless and that the tactics chosen by Armenia served to prolong the occupation. They said that Turkey, as always, stands by Azerbaijan, the time has come to put an end to Armenia's aggressive policy, and the Azerbaijani Army is able to do so.
In their letters, the leaders of the trade unions of the brotherly country reiterated that they will always stand by the people of Azerbaijan in order to protect the territorial integrity of our country.
