For 44 days, the brotherly Turkish people are beside us, - Aliyev.
Additional statements by President Ilham Aliyev to the press with the President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan:
The liberation of the city of Shusha had great symbolic significance and became one of the most important stages of the Second Karabakh War.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan's statement in the first hours of the war, as well as a telephone conversation with him, proved to the whole world that brotherly Turkey is near Azerbaijan.
Today, the process of normalization of relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan is already underway, and I hope it will bring concrete results. Armenia and Azerbaijan signed a peace agreement more than a year ago, but the final signature has not yet been made.
After the war, the historic Shosha Declaration was signed in Shusha. This officially brought our relationship to the level of an alliance, even though we had always been allies before. The peoples of Turkey and Azerbaijan are brotherly peoples. I have repeatedly said that there are no peoples and countries in the world as connected to each other as ours.
We are united by a common history, ethnic roots, language, literature, spiritual values. It is a great asset, and today interstate relations are developing on this asset, on this solid foundation. Our unity, our brotherhood are indestructible. And those who want to shake it will never achieve their goal, their dreams will remain unfulfilled.
