Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has arrived at
Azerbaijan's Zangilan District to attend the opening of the
Zangilan International Airport due to take place today.
A guard of honor was arranged for the Turkish President at the
Zangilan International Airport decorated with the national flags of
the two countries.
Before this event, on October 26, 2021, Azerbaijani President
Ilham Aliyev and his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan
commissioned the Fuzuli Airport, built in Azerbaijan's liberated
Fuzuli District in less than a year.
The opening of the airports in Azerbaijan's de-occupied lands is
considered one of the grand construction projects Azerbaijan has
been implementing in the liberated lands following the 30-year-long
Armenian occupation. The airports in the liberated lands are
believed to boost the region's tourism and business potential.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was the first
international leader, who landed at the brand-new airport in Fuzuli
after Azerbaijan's remarkable victory in the 44-day war with
Armenia in 2020. Erdogan's historic visit to Fuzuli on October 26,
2021, to inaugurate the Fuzuli International Airport along with
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev was of huge strategic importance
and grabbed the regional and international media headlines.
At that point, in Fuzuli, President Aliyev stressed the
importance of the visit, saying 'this shows that Turkiye and
Azerbaijan, as two brotherly countries, are always close to each
other'.
