Aliyev considered that the battle to liberate Karabakh from the Armenian occupation has become a common history of Azerbaijan and Turkey.
Regarding the support provided by Turkey to Azerbaijan in the liberation of its territory, Aliyev said that his country “will not forget it.”
Addressing the residents of Rize, Aliyev said, “The province of Rize has presented the Turkish world with a leader like Erdogan, and we are grateful to you, and the Turkish world is proud of you.”
In mid-June 2021, Erdogan and Aliyev signed the “Shusha Declaration” during their visit to the city of “Shusha” in the “Karabakh” region liberated from the Armenian occupation.
