    Turkey is ready to extend support to the Azerbaijani Armed Forces,
    Turkey's defense minister said in Baku yesterday.

    "We are ready to support, cooperate and join in production with
    Azerbaijan Armed Forces," Defense Minister İsmet Yılmaz told
    journalists after visiting former Azerbaijani President Haydar Aliyev's
    grave in Baku.

    "A bilateral strategic cooperation agreement [between Turkey and
    Azerbaijan] has been signed. Turkish Prime Minister [Recep Tayyip
    Erdogan] and [Azerbaijani] President Ilham Aliyev have also decided
    on the establishment of a high advisory council," Yılmaz said.

    The council will be the basis for the relations between the two
    countries, Yılmaz said, adding that there were good and sound
    relations between Turkey and Azerbaijan.

    Yılmaz is currently visiting Baku for meetings with Azerbaijani
    Defense Minister Sefer Abiyev and was received by Aliyev upon arrival.

    Turkish Ambassador to Baku Hulusi Kılıc and Turkey's defense attaché
    in Azerbaijan, Brig. Gen. Yucel Karauz, were present at the meeting
    between Aliyev and Yılmaz yesterday.
