Syrian President Bashar al-Assad described Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan as the "main instigator and initiator" of the ongoing conflict in the Nagorno-Karabakh region.
"Let's be blunt and clear; Erdogan has supported terrorists in Syria, and he's been supporting terrorists in Libya, and he was the main instigator and initiator of the recent conflict that has been going on in Nagorno-Karabakh between Azerbaijan and Armenia. So, I would sum up his behaviour as dangerous, for different reasons", Assad said in an interview with Sputnik News Agency.
He added: "Second, because he's creating war in different areas to distract his own public opinion in Turkey from focusing on his behaviour inside Turkey, especially after his scandalous relations with Daesh in Syria", claiming that ISIS "used to sell Syrian oil through Turkey under the umbrella of the American Air Force."
Clashes between Armenia and Azerbaijan have been ongoing after fighting in the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh broke out last week when Azeri and ethnic Armenian soldiers exchanged fire.
At least 200 casualties have been reported in the heaviest fighting since the 1994 ceasefire.
Both sides blame each other for the escalation and report thousands of casualties.
On Sunday, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev demanded "a schedule for a withdrawal of the Armenian armed forces" as a condition to "restore the ceasefire."
Earlier Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan pledged to stand by Azerbaijan in the conflict.
The Nagorno-Karabakh region is internationally recognised as part of Azerbaijan but has an independent government led by a majority group of ethnic Armenians.
