Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan affirmed that Turkey and Azerbaijan are "two sister nations that unite in joy and sorrow and face all difficulties together." This came in a statement to journalists aboard the plane, as he returned on Sunday evening from Azerbaijan, which he visited for one day.
Solid Historical Links
Erdogan added that those attempting to create a rift between Turkey and Azerbaijan do not take into account the mutual love between their peoples, the historical ties, and the firm will. He continued: "We embraced warmly with my brother Ilham Aliyev (the Azerbaijani President) and exchanged feelings of longing, and those seeking to create division between Turkey and Azerbaijan are making futile efforts."
Joint Strategic Projects
Erdogan said, "Those who realize they cannot spoil Turkey's relations with Azerbaijan may try to undermine the unity and solidarity existing between the two sides." He went on to say: "Despite the centers of sedition, we crowned our cooperation with major projects in many strategic fields, foremost among them energy, transport, and infrastructure."
Future Solidarity
He affirmed that relations between the two countries are based on complete solidarity, unity of destiny, and bonds of brotherhood, noting that they will continue to raise the voice of Turks strongly in the region and the world, and work together to build a prosperous future. He urged vigilance and caution against misinformation, and maintaining direct, honest, and clear channels of communication on all issues.
