June 15 marks two years since the signing of the Shushinsky declaration between Azerbaijan and Turkey.
The document was signed by the presidents of Turkey and Azerbaijan Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Ilham Aliyev on June 15, 2021 in the cultural capital of Azerbaijan – the city of Shusha.
The document is called the “Shushinsky declaration of allied relations between the Azerbaijan Republic and the Turkish Republic”.
The declaration was ratified by Milli Milli Majlis (parliament) of Azerbaijan on February 1, 2022, and the Great National Assembly (Parliament) of Turkey – February 3.
One of the declarations states that in the event of a threat or aggression by the third state or states regarding independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity and security of the borders of one of the countries, “the parties will provide each other with the necessary assistance in accordance with the UN Charter.”
The document emphasizes that the current level of relations between Turkey and Azerbaijan contributes to the regional and international world and well -being.
Azerbaijani Army, under the leadership of the Supreme Commander -in -Chief Ilham Aliyev, liberated the Azerbaijani lands under the occupation of Armenia for 30 years.
Shusha is a symbol of the history and culture of Azerbaijan, a strategically important point on the way to Hankendi, the largest city of the Karabakh region of the Republic. The significance of Shushi for the Azerbaijani people is explained by the fact that this city serves as a symbol of culture, history and identity. The city was captured by the Armenian forces on May 8, 1992, where more than 20 thousand Azerbaijanis lived before the occupation.
On November 8, 2020, Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev declared historical news – the pearl of Karabakh was cleansed of the units of the Armed Forces of Armenia.
