Anadolu Agency is here with a rundown of the latest developments on the coronavirus pandemic and other news in Turkey and around the world.
Coronavirus and other developments in Turkey
The country's overall case count now stands at 335,533, including 294,357 recoveries, according to the Health Ministry.
The virus-linked death toll in Turkey reached 8,837 with 59 new fatalities.
“The claims and remarks of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Greece Nikos Dendias in his interview with the newspaper Eleftheros Typos, which was published today (11 October), are unfounded," Foreign Ministry spokesman Hami Aksoy said in a statement.
“Exploratory talks were suspended in 2016 upon the request of Greece. Claiming that the talks were suspended on the account of Turkey is an attempt to mislead public opinion," Aksoy said.
Tensions have recently escalated regarding the issue of energy exploration in the Eastern Mediterranean.
COVID-19 updates worldwide
Although not officially announced, the country is clearly experiencing a second wave of infections.
Cases rose sharply to 26,896 on Saturday from 20,339 on Friday.
After the biggest single-day jump since the end of the lockdown on Friday followed by an even higher number on Saturday, Sunday's dip was welcome relief.
A total of 74,383 cases were reported in the past 24 hours with 918 more fatalities, taking the country's death toll to 108,334.
The ministry also said that recoveries have crossed 6 million.
The ministry said at least 107 more people died of COVID-19, putting the total number of fatalities at 17,780.
Recoveries exceed 623,765 and over 4.4 million COVID-19 tests have been performed since the first case was reported in the country in March.
Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict
Mevlut Cavusoglu and Sergei Lavrov discussed Armenia's cease-fire violations.
Relations between the two former Soviet republics have been tense since the 1991 invasion, but the latest clashes began on Sept. 27.
As many as 34 others, among them 16 women and six children, were injured, the Prosecutor General's Office in Azerbaijan said in a statement. 
The Armenian attacks continued despite a humanitarian truce agreed on Saturday for the exchange of prisoners and retrieval of bodies in Nagorno-Karabakh, an internationally recognized territory of Azerbaijan.
Hikmat Hajiyev, the assistant to the Azerbaijani president, said the attacks were Armenia's "policy of vandalism and barbarism" against Azerbaijani civilians and "an act of genocide."
Between Sept. 27, when the clashes began, and Oct. 11, as many as 41 Azerbaijani civilians have been killed and 205 injured.
Some 1,165 houses, 57 residential and commercial buildings and 146 public buildings have also been destroyed or damaged, the prosecutors said.
