“Massive clashes are happening in Karabakh between Armenian-Azerbaijani forces. Our country [Turkey] must stop being the one who fuels this fire. There is no winner in this war. Let us take responsibility in ensuring ceasefire,” Paylan said on social media.

In the early morning of September 27, the Azerbaijani military launched a massive attack on Artsakh using air force, missiles and tanks.  The Azerbaijani artillery strikes targeted civilian settlements, including Stepanakert city, which resulted in several civilians being killed.
