Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has congratulated Azerbaijan on the 108th anniversary of Baku’s liberation from enemy occupation.
"Operative Information Center-OMM" reports that the Turkish leader shared the message on his social media accounts.
"I congratulate our friend and brother Azerbaijan on the anniversary of the liberation of its capital, Baku, from enemy occupation, and commemorate with mercy Nuri Killigil Pasha, commander of the Caucasus Islamic Army, and his heroic soldiers," the post said.
The Caucasus Islamic Army entered Baku in September 1918, helping end the occupation of the city and restore the authority of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic in the capital. The anniversary is commemorated in Azerbaijan and Türkiye as a symbol of the historical ties between the two countries.
