February 24, Fineko/abc.az. Relations between Azerbaijan and Turkey are also allied. Last year, on 15 June, President Erdogan and I signed a declaration in the city of Shusha, liberated from occupation - a Declaration of Alliance. This was also formalization of what we had, because the allied relations between Azerbaijan and Turkey have existed for years.

ABC.AZ reports that President Ilham Aliyev stated about this at a meeting with the heads of the leading Russian media in the TASS agency, describing Azerbaijani-Turkish relationships.

In response to this question, the head of state cited numerous examples of Turkey's all-round support for Azerbaijan.

"Turkey was the first country to recognize Azerbaijan as an independent state. Turkey has definitely prevented the hostile actions of a number of circles in some countries towards Azerbaijan. We really appreciate it. From the first day, from the first hours of the second Karabakh war, President Erdogan made a statement, and then repeatedly made statements in support of Azerbaijan. It is not surprising that Turkish companies are now playing a major role in the restoration of Karabakh and Eastern Zangezur, which are helping us a lot," the Azerbaijani president stressed.
