Erdoğan and Aliyev in Shusha: Those seeking to weaken our brotherhood will fail
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan visited the Karabakh region at the invitation of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev on the sixth anniversary of Victory Day. In Shusha, the two leaders affirmed that the alliance between their countries is unshakable.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan arrived in Azerbaijan’s Karabakh region on Sunday at the invitation of President Ilham Aliyev to attend Victory Day celebrations marking the sixth anniversary of the end of the 44-day war in 2020. Following an official welcoming ceremony and a bilateral meeting in the city of Shusha, the two presidents held a joint press conference.
Erdoğan said the brotherhood between the two countries “goes far beyond their shared language, history and culture,” adding that those seeking to weaken this brotherhood, strengthened by the “Shusha Declaration” signed on June 15, 2021, as an alliance “will not achieve their goal—neither yesterday, today nor tomorrow.”
Aliyev, for his part, recalled Erdoğan’s support for his country from the first hours of the war and said: “Your historic words, ‘Azerbaijan is not alone; Türkiye stands beside it,’ will never be forgotten.” He added: “Türkiye and Azerbaijan are two brotherly nations, and no peoples or countries in the world are as closely connected as we are. Our unity and brotherhood are unshakable.”
Erdoğan said the task now was to crown the victory with lasting peace and stability in the South Caucasus. He announced the opening of a Turkish-Azerbaijani international forest training center and a nursery in Jabrayil, as well as the start of construction on a 40-classroom school in Aghdam, which the two presidents plan to inaugurate next year.
Later, the two presidents posed for photographs in front of Shusha Castle, visited the memorial to the victims of the Khojaly massacre and laid a wreath at the Victory Monument in Khankendi.
