Statements against Azerbaijan are backed by foreign circles, says MP

Azerbaijan's Cabinet of Ministers has adopted a decision on a uniform school uniform, which some political and public circles in Türkiye have met with discontent. Speaking to Modern.az, Aydin Mirzazada, a member of the Milli Majlis committee on defence, security and anti-corruption, said it is wrong to present statements by individuals against Azerbaijan as the position of the Turkish state.

Mirzazada stressed that relations between the two countries rest on historical brotherhood, the unity of their peoples and a strong strategic partnership, not on chance political interests. He noted that the Turkish president has not expressed any view on the matter, and that remarks by a few people in his circle or party do not reflect the leadership's position.

He did not rule out that foreign circles stand behind some statements by Turkish individuals, arguing that certain forces seek to create mistrust and weaken both countries. He expressed confidence that such statements cannot harm the strategic alliance between Azerbaijan and Türkiye.
