Turkey will continue to stand by Azerbaijan and will never leave it alone, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said on Tuesday, after clashes erupted between Azerbaijani and Armenian troops.

Speaking at a conference, Cavusoglu added that Ankara's relations with Armenia were not independent of Yerevan-Baku ties.

Both Armenia and Azerbaijan have blamed each other for overnight clashes along the border, in a resumption of decades-old hostilities linked to the disputed territory of Nagorno-Karabakh.
