'A true epic of heroism': Azerbaijan's Aliyev commemorates July 15 coup attempt anniversary

He said that under Erdogan’s leadership, Türkiye emerged from the ordeal “even stronger, once again demonstrating its national will and traditions of statehood to the entire world.”

“The events of that historic day proved that no insidious intention or destructive force can withstand the unity of the people and the state,” Aliyev said, adding that Democracy and National Unity Day stands as a symbol of the Turkish people’s “national solidarity, fighting spirit, traditions of statehood, and will for freedom.”

He also said the Azerbaijani people and state, guided by the principle of “one nation, two states,” demonstrated solidarity with Türkiye and stood by its side in those decisive moments, reaffirming “how strong and unshakable” the brotherhood and unity of the two peoples are.

Aliyev expressed confidence that the friendship and brotherhood between their countries will be “further strengthened,” and that their “strategic alliance” will continue to develop along an upward trajectory and be enriched with new content through joint efforts.

“My Dear Brother, I wish you robust health, happiness, and success in your highest state duties, and I wish peace, tranquillity, prosperity, and welfare to the brotherly Republic of Türkiye,” Aliyev added.
