Aliyev, Turkish FM Fidan Meet in Baku to Deepen Alliance


(MENAFN) Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev welcomed Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan to Baku on Tuesday as part of a two-day visit, the Azerbaijani presidency confirmed in a statement.

Fidan delivered greetings on behalf of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, which Aliyev received warmly before asking the foreign minister to relay his own greetings back to Erdogan.

Both sides used the meeting to voice satisfaction with how far the "brotherly and strategic alliance" between Azerbaijan and Türkiye has progressed across multiple sectors, reaffirming their commitment to deepening ties under the "one nation, two states" framework.

Energy cooperation featured prominently in the discussion, with officials trading views on emerging alternative-energy routes to international markets.

Broader topics — including the trajectory of bilateral relations, regional developments, and other shared priorities — rounded out the discussion.
