PM Turčyn in Azerbaijan

May 5, Pozirk. Belarusian Prime Minister Alaksandar Turčyn has left for Azerbaijan to meet with President Ilham Aliyev and Prime Minister Ali Asadov, the cabinet’s press office reports.
The prime minister heads a large delegation of business executives who will participate in a business forum to present their companies ranging from industries to food production.
Turčyn will visit facilities “in the territories that Azerbaijan is restoring after the hostilities,” the message said, most likely implying the Nagorno-Karabakh region that Azerbaijan captured from Armenia in 2023.
Over the last decade, Alaksandar Łukašenka supplied Azerbaijan with weapons, despite Belarus being a member of a Russia-led military alliance that includes Armenia and does not include Azerbaijan.
Yerevan has strained relations with Minsk. Last year, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated that neither he nor any other Armenian official would travel to Belarus as long as Łukašenka was in power. Pashinyan was angered by Łukašenka’s declarations of support for Azerbaijan and his tour of Nagorno-Karabakh in May 2024.
