“The military and strategic cooperation of Azerbaijan and Turkey is on the highest level.
Our countries have always assisted to each other in different spheres including military,” said Azerbaijani deputy chairman of the MM committee on defense and security Aydin Mirzazade.
“The decree to ratify the agreement on free military aid between the governments of Azerbaijan and Turkey recently signed by the president of the country is another proof of our strategic relations,” Mirzazade said.
He said “today the Azerbaijani army is not the same it was in the early 90s. Today, this is the strongest army in the region. Moreover, we have a reliable military industry. Thus, our army is capable of freeing its territories from occupants.”
Asked whether Turkey will help Azerbaijan in case of war, considering that Armenia is CSTO member, the deputy noted that CSTO has no right to interfere with this conflict.
“Even the CSTO leadership recognizes that. If Azerbaijan starts hostilities, it will launch them in its territory and it can cooperate with any country in liberation of its lands from occupants. We do not need the lands of other countries, we need to return our lands and the Azerbaijani people support the position of the president in this matter.”
