    AZERBAIJANI-TURKISH TIES IN FOCUS

    Ali Hasanov, Deputy Prime Minister of Azerbaijan, chairman of the
    National Commission on International Humanitarian Aid has met Alper
    Coskun, Turkish Ambassador Ismail, AzerTag state news agency reported.

    The sides exchanged views on the state of refugees and IDPs in
    Azerbaijan, and future prospects for cooperation.

    He noted that relations between Azerbaijan and Turkey are based on
    mutual respect and cooperation. "Today there are no two other countries
    in the world that have such close relations as Azerbaijan and Turkey,"
    Hasanov said.

    "Our peoples are bound together by ties of history and fraternity. Our
    countries stand next to each others, which plays an important role,"
    he added.

    Touching upon the Armenian-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict,
    Hasanov hailed Turkey's supporting his country.

    Ambassador Coskun said there was huge potential for the development of
    Azerbaijani-Turkish ties in all areas, particularly humanitarian one.

    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.

    Turkey also cut diplomatic ties and closed its border with Armenia
    after the country invaded Azerbaijan's territories.

    Turkey set Armenia's withdrawal from Nagorno-Karabakh and seven
    surrounding regions of Azerbaijan as a precondition for establishing
    diplomatic relations with the country.
