In his congratulatory letter to Aliyev, Erdogan referred to the signing of the peace treaty with Armenia

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan sent a congratulatory letter to Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev on the occasion of his victory in the extraordinary presidential elections held on February 7.

Erdogan noted that the development of Azerbaijan, the liberation of "Azerbaijani lands from occupation" and the growing prestige of that country in the international arena give Turkey a reason to be proud.

According to Erdogan, Aliyev's re-election is very important from the point of view of establishing peace and stability.

"In this regard, I hope that as a victorious leader, the negotiations with Armenia, in which you have invested so much work, will end with the signing of a peace treaty. I want your victory in the elections to be useful both for the fraternal Azerbaijani people and for our region," Erdogan said.
