Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Thursday wished success to the Turkish Armed Forces personnel who are stationed in Azerbaijan.
He delivered his message by phone as a high-level Turkish delegation headed by National Defense Minister Hulusi Akar visited Baku.
"Dear members of our Turkish Armed Forces, dear heroes of the Azerbaijani army, I greet you all with my heartfelt feelings," Erdogan said, at a ceremony held for personnel of the Azerbaijani and Turkish forces who will serve at a center jointly run by Turkey and Russia.
"You have achieved an epic victory in 44 days under the leadership of my brother Ilham Aliyev, the president of dear Azerbaijan. This victory made us as happy and proud as our Azerbaijani brothers," Anadolu Agency cited him as saying.
"Brother Azerbaijan welcomed the Turkish Armed Forces with tears of joy, with prayers and with the same excitement on Dec. 10 as they had welcomed the Caucasian Islamic Army," Erdogan added.
