His Excellency Mr. Ilham Aliyev, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan
Dear Mr. President, my dear Brother,
On behalf of my people and on my own behalf, I sincerely congratulate Your Excellency and the brotherly people of Azerbaijan on the occasion of the Independence Day of Azerbaijan.
On the anniversary of this significant holiday, Türkiye takes pride in the achievements of Azerbaijan — a country with which we stand together in both joyful and challenging times, within the region and beyond. We are very pleased with our shared determination to further strengthen our high-level relations in the spirit of “One nation, two states.” I am delighted to see that our brotherly relations and exceptional cooperation are bringing us closer to our common development goals day by day, making our countries even stronger and more prosperous.
Availing myself of this opportunity, I wish Your Excellency robust health and happiness, and the friendly and brotherly people of Azerbaijan continued welfare and prosperity. Once again, I extend my heartfelt congratulations on Azerbaijan’s Independence Day.
Recep Tayyip Erdoğan
President of the Republic of Türkiye
