A group of Turkish air force flight and technical personnel have
arrived in Azerbaijan to attend the TurAz Falcon -2022 (TurAz
Qartali) joint flight-tactical drills, Azernews reports, citing the
Azerbaijani Defense Ministry.
“The work on staff accommodation, exercise planning, and other
organizational issues are underway to get prepared for the
exercises,” the Ministry said.
The joint flight-tactical drills will kick off on September 5,
it added.
Azerbaijan and Turkiye actively collaborate in various military
spheres. Often the air, sea, and naval forces of the two countries
conduct joint tactical drills.
The joint exercises aimed to improve the interaction between the
two countries' army units during combat operations, develop the
commanders' military decision-making and unit management
skills.
Military cooperation between Azerbaijan and Turkiye 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 sphere of sea, air,
and space.
