Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan used an official visit to Azerbaijan to deliver a message to those seeking to weaken the brotherly ties between the two countries, infohub.kz reports.
According to Report, the Turkish leader was in Azerbaijan on an official visit and repeatedly stressed that efforts to weaken the brotherhood between Azerbaijan and Turkey would never succeed.
"Baku's joy is Ankara's joy. We regard the pride of Shusha as the pride of the entire nation. The current standing of the Organization of Turkic States (OTS) is the clearest example of our shared will and joint efforts," Erdogan said at a news conference with Ilham Aliyev.
Another local outlet, Minval, quoted the Turkish president further. He stressed that attempts to sow discord between Turkey and Azerbaijan are doomed to fail. In his view, cooperation between Turkey and Azerbaijan, as well as among other Turkic states, unsettles certain forces.
Erdogan warned that those unable to destroy this unity directly may try to undermine it through various provocations.
"It is especially important to be attentive and vigilant in the face of such games. We must not trust disinformation and must maintain direct, sincere and open channels of communication on every issue," the Turkish leader said.
