Turkish MFA issues statement on Azerbaijan

The Protocol signed on December 10, 2020, between the Republic of Turkey and the Republic of Azerbaijan, which allows both countries’ citizens to travel using their national identity cards, will enter into force on April 1, 2021.

Citizens of Turkey and Azerbaijan traveling directly between the two countries will travel without needing their passports and only by presenting their new generation identity cards.

Starting as of April 1, 2021, the new practice will strengthen our existing strong ties with Azerbaijan, as expressed in the motto “one nation, two states.”
