Azerbaijani Defense Minister Col-Gen Zakir Hasanov has arrived
in Ankara, Turkiye, on a working visit, Azernews reports, citing
the ministry.
As part of his visit to Turkiye, Hasanov paid homage to Ankara's
Heydar Aliyev Park on August 30.
“Col-Gen Zakir Hasanov laid a wreath at the monument to the
national leader of the Azerbaijani people, Heydar Aliyev, in the
park and paid tribute to his memory,” the ministry said.
Hasanov is expected to attend the events to be held on the
occasion of the 100th anniversary of Victory Day on August 30, the
ministry reported earlier.
Military cooperation between Azerbaijan and Turkiye first
emerged in 1992, with an agreement signed between the Azerbaijani
and Turkish governments on military education and weapons supply 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, signed by Presidents
Ilham Aliyev and 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 defence 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.
