“President Erdogan’s visit to Fuzuli underscores the powerful victory of Azerbaijan in last year’s 44-day war, which is the greatest military and diplomatic victory in the history of Azerbaijan. Erdogan’s visit also show how close Azerbaijan and Turkey are, the slogan of which is “two countries, one nation”. Turkey made clear that it will support Azerbaijan as strong as possible,” he said.
