Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has announced plans to meet with the Azerbaijani leader next week for negotiations set to take place in Nagorno-Karabakh’s town of Shushi (which passed under Azerbaijani control after last year’s war).

“On June 15, we will be heading to Shusha [Shushi], one of the ‘liberated’ towns [quotation marks – Ed.] which will host official meetings and different events,” Interfax-Azerbaijan quoted him as saying.

Erdogan will be in Azerbaijan on an official visit between June 14-16. As part of the three-day trip, he and President Ilham Aliyev are scheduled to attend a football match bringing together the Turkish and Wales national teams
