“Thanks to Your Excellency’s decisive and visionary leadership, brotherly Azerbaijan has made tremendous achievements in recent years and further strengthened its authority in the international arena. In particular, the resolve and determination you have shown in the reconstruction and improvement of Karabakh and Eastern Zangazur are worthy of words of commendation,” said President of Turkiye Recep Tayyip Erdogan as he sent a letter of congratulations to President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev on the occasion of his birthday.
“Your valuable work for the peace and prosperity of future generations of Azerbaijan are followed and emulated by the entire Turkic world with great interest and joy.
The Turkish-Azerbaijani alliance, which derives its strength from the concept of “One nation, two states” and the ancient brotherly relations between our peoples, has become an indispensable factor of security, stability and prosperity for our region in this process,” the Turkish President said in his letter.
“I sincerely believe that we will raise our unwavering solidarity to an even higher level in 2023, when we will be celebrating the 100th anniversary of our Republic, by cooperating in defense industry, joint energy and transport projects,” President Recep Tayyip Erdogan added.
