"Turkiye backed us until the last minute of the war, until our flag was hoisted in Shusha. The Azerbaijani people will never forget this brotherhood," President Ilham Aliyev said at the opening of the Rize-Artvin Airport.

"We are together today too. We are working shoulder to shoulder in the restoration of Karabakh. Thousands of our Turkish brothers are doing their job in Azerbaijan on the restoration of Karabakh," the head of state said.
