Azerbaijan marks 35th anniversary of restored independence
Azerbaijan is celebrating the 35th anniversary of the restoration of its state independence, marked by the adoption of the Constitutional Act on October 18, 1991. The milestone commemorates the nation's transition to sovereignty following the collapse of the Soviet Union and its historical roots in the 1918 Azerbaijan Democratic Republic.
Turkish leaders, including President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli, issued messages of solidarity. Bahçeli emphasized the inseparable bond between Turkey and Azerbaijan, citing the 'one nation, two states' principle and noting that the 2020 Karabakh Victory added new strength to Azerbaijan's national independence.
Economic ties between the two nations have also evolved significantly. Beyond political and cultural solidarity, the relationship has expanded into a deep economic partnership involving energy, industry, and infrastructure, with substantial Azerbaijani investments in Turkey and Turkish companies operating within Azerbaijan.
