I congratulate brotherly Turkiye wholeheartedly on the occasion of Victory Day and the 104th anniversary of the Turkish Armed Forces.

Axar.az reports that Azerbaijan’s Defense Minister, Colonel General Zakir Hasanov, said this at an event held at the Turkish Embassy in Azerbaijan to mark August 30 – Victory Day.

“Today, as a result of the determined policy pursued by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkiye has achieved great successes and become a strong state. Every success of our brotherly country brings us great joy.

The fraternal ties between Turkiye and Azerbaijan are growing stronger on the basis of National Leader Heydar Aliyev’s principle of ‘One nation, two states’ and Mustafa Kemal Ataturk’s principle that ‘Azerbaijan’s joy is our joy, and its sorrow is our sorrow,’” Hasanov said
