Servicemen of the Azerbaijan army participated in the 'Brother
Brigade Project' drills held in Turkiye, Azernews reports citing
Defense Ministry.
Due to the completion of the training period, a ceremony was
held with the participation of Commander of the Army Corps of the
Turkish Armed Forces, Lieutenant General Rasim Yaldiz, and other
high-ranking officers.
Speaking at the ceremony, Lieutenant General Rasim Yaldiz
stressed the exemplary service of Azerbaijani servicemen within the
framework of the 'Brother Brigade Project' and expressed confidence
that the knowledge and experience gained during the exercises will
be applied to further strengthen the Azerbaijan Army.
Azerbaijan and Türkiye periodically hold joint drills to improve
interaction and communication between their army units.
Military cooperation between Azerbaijan and Türkiye first
emerged in 1992, with an agreement signed between the Azerbaijani
and Turkish governments on military education and weapon equipment
and deals to help strengthen the bond between the two nations.
On June 15, the two countries signed a memorandum of alliance
that cemented the existing military, political and economic
cooperation.
The Shusha Declaration on Allied Relations that President Ilham
Aliyev and his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan signed
during the first official visit to Shusha eight months after
Azerbaijan's victory in the war with Armenia, also focuses on
defense cooperation.
It affirms joint efforts by the two armies in the face of
foreign threats. The declaration also pledges joint efforts for the
restructuring and modernization of the armed forces. Moreover, the
two nations affirm to encourage the execution of joint projects
with the aim of developing capabilities in the field of sea, air,
and space.
In an interview with Türkiye's Anadolu Agency on September 27,
President Ilham Aliyev said that the signing of the Shusha
Declaration raised bilateral relations to an even higher level.
