Azerbaijani and Turkish officials have discussed the cooperation in
military and defense fields.
Colonel-General Zakir Hasanov, Azerbaijani Defense Minister received
a delegation headed by Hasan Kemal Yardimci, Turkish Deputy Defense
Minister December 11, the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry said.
While welcoming the guests, Hasanov said the military cooperation
between Azerbaijan and Turkey is based on the friendly and fraternal
relations.
Touching upon the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Hasanov stressed that
the liberation of Azerbaijani lands occupied by Armenia is of great
importance for the region.
Armenia occupied over 20 percent of Azerbaijan's internationally
recognized territory, including Nagorno-Karabakh and seven adjacent
regions, after laying territorial claims against its South Caucasus
neighbor that had caused a lengthy war in the early 1990s.
Yardimci, for his part, expressed satisfaction with the visit to
Azerbaijan. He stressed the role and importance of making such visits
for strengthening the relations between the two countries.
Other issues of regional and bilateral cooperation were discussed
during the meeting.
The cooperation in defense industry was also discussed during the
visit of Turkish official.
Yaver Jamalov, Azerbaijani Minister of Defense Industry received the
delegation headed by Yardimci on December 11, the Azerbaijani Ministry
of Defense Industry said.
The current cooperation in the defense industry and prospects were
discussed at the meeting.
The sides also focused on other issues of mutual interest.
Turkish Ambassador to Azerbaijan Ismail Alper Coskun attended the
meetings.
Azerbaijan-Turkey relations have always been strong due to a common
culture and history and the mutual intelligibility of Turkish and
Azerbaijani languages.
Turkey was the first country in the world to recognize Azerbaijan's
independence in 1991 and has been a staunch supporter of Azerbaijan in
its efforts to consolidate its independence, preserve its territorial
integrity, and realize its economic potential that arise from the
rich natural resources of the Caspian Sea.
