Erdoğan plans Baku visit for Azerbaijan's Victory Day on November 8

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan plans to visit Baku on November 8 for Azerbaijan's Victory Day. He announced the plan to journalists while returning from a trip to South Korea.

The announcement comes as relations between Azerbaijan and Turkey have been widely discussed in recent days, after international media reported disagreements between the two countries. Erdoğan said ties are based on shared history, culture and brotherhood, and expressed hope that necessary steps would be taken during the visit.

Speaking to Modern.az, Azerbaijani MP Javanshir Feyziyev rejected the term "disagreement between countries". He said there is no single view in either country on the hijab-related decision of the Azerbaijani Cabinet of Ministers, so the debate lies within the civil societies of both countries. Feyziyev said Erdoğan's Victory Day visit shows that the brotherhood and alliance are unshakable, and he recalled Heydar Aliyev's "one nation, two states" formula and the 2021 Shusha Declaration.
