“We first elevated our relationship with Azerbaijan to a strategic partnership, and last year to a strategic alliance with the Shusha Declaration,” Erdoğan said, addressing an aviation festival Teknofest, now held abroad for the first time, in the Azerbaijani capital Baku.
Erdoğan said: “We are organizing Teknofest, the world’s most popular aviation, space and technology festival, in Baku, the pearl of the Caspian, with the slogan of one nation, two states, one festival.”
Just like Turkey itself, Azerbaijan is also our homeland, the Turkish leader added.
He also underlined that Turkey supports Azerbaijan’s efforts to establish lasting peace with neighboring Armenia.
