Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan canceled a day trip to Spain, where leaders of Azerbaijan and Armenia are expected to hold peace talks after Baku successfully took control of the contested Nagorno-Karabakh region.
Erdogan will no longer attend a meeting of the European Political Community on Thursday, according to people familiar with the matter, citing the president’s busy schedule ahead of his ruling party’s convention on Saturday.
