BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 14. We are always together – in good times, in pleasant times, in difficult times, and the second Karabakh war once again showed it to the whole world, President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said making a speech during the inauguration of the Rize-Artvin Airport in Turkiye, Trend reports.
"It is a great pleasure for me to be alongside you today. Today,
the participation of the President of Azerbaijan in this wonderful
ceremony is yet another manifestation of the Turkish-Azerbaijani
unity. We are always together – in good times, in pleasant times,
in difficult times, and the second Karabakh war once again showed
it to the whole world. From the first hours to the last day of the
war, my brother was with us, and so were the brotherly Turkish
people.
The second Karabakh war is our common glorious history. We have put
an end to 30 years of occupation, and on the first day of the war,
the words of the President, my dear brother Recep Tayyip Erdogan
that “Azerbaijan is not alone and that Turkiye is with Azerbaijan”
sent a serious message to many. Until the last minute of the war,
until our flag was hoisted in Shusha, Turkiye was with us, Turkiye
was behind us, Turkiye supported us, and the Azerbaijani people
will never forget this brotherhood," the head of state said.
