Türkiye and Azerbaijan remain committed to deepening bilateral ties under the principle of “One nation, two states,” while Turkish institutions and companies continue contributing to reconstruction efforts in territories regained by Azerbaijan, Agriculture and Forestry Minister Ibrahim Yumakli said Tuesday.
Yumakli made the remarks at a reception in Ankara marking Azerbaijan’s Nov. 8 Victory Day, hosted by the Azerbaijani Embassy at the Gazi Officers’ Guesthouse.
“Our institutions and companies are also taking part, through their dedicated efforts, in the development and reconstruction drive in territories freed from the darkness of occupation,” Yumakli said.
He added that Türkiye shares in Azerbaijan’s joy over its victory.
Yumakli said Azerbaijan, under President Ilham Aliyev’s leadership, had made history in 44 days and paid tribute to those who lost their lives in the war while thanking veterans who helped reunite Azerbaijani territories with their homeland.
He said relations between Türkiye and Azerbaijan were elevated to the level of an alliance through the Shusha Declaration, which he described as an important step in deepening bilateral ties beyond a joint political commitment.
Türkiye and Azerbaijan will continue working to raise their cooperation to higher levels, he said.
Yumakli said the military victory in Karabakh had created what he called a historic opportunity to establish lasting peace, stability and security across the region.
“Transforming our region into a basin of prosperity where lasting stability and eternal peace prevail is the greatest responsibility on all our shoulders,” he said.
He added that regional cooperation mechanisms proposed by the presidents of Türkiye and Azerbaijan were based on a vision aimed at serving the shared prosperity of all countries and peoples in the region.
Yumakli concluded by congratulating Azerbaijan on Victory Day.
