During the commemorative event in Karabakh, solidarity was demonstrated between two powerful states that have built their relations on the principle of ‘one nation, two states’, which we have always emphasized. I warmly embraced my brother Ilham Aliyev, and we had a conversation.

Axar.az reports that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan made these remarks while speaking to journalists aboard his plane on his return from a visit to Azerbaijan.

He said that those attempting to drive a wedge between Turkiye and Azerbaijan were making futile efforts.

“There is complete solidarity, a shared destiny and a bond of brotherhood between Türkiye and Azerbaijan. Together with our brothers and sisters, we will raise the strong voice of the Turkic world both in our region and across the globe, and build a prosperous future together.

Those attempting to create distance between us fail to take into account the deep affection our peoples have for each other, our historical ties and our unwavering determination.

God willing, Turkiye and Azerbaijan will continue to move forward hand in hand for the sake of peace, stability and prosperity in our region.”
