THE MEANING AND IMPORTANCE OF TURKEY-AZERBAIJAN RELATIONS

Abstract

Turkey and Azerbaijan are two states that have a unity of history, language, religion, race and culture and have to think about each other and act together in all their practices and purposes in the region. Looking at the development in Turkey-Azerbaijan trade, both import and export figures are increasing. This indicates that the ties between the two countries are getting stronger. The Karabakh Victory in 2020 brought the two countries even closer. Because Turkey supported Azerbaijan with all its might during the war. Turkey's support has created great satisfaction on the Azerbaijani side. The cooperation of the two countries has driven the invading and aggressor Armenia out of Karabakh. All these developments created the beginning of a new era in the region. The future political, military, economic and social relations of Turkey and Azerbaijan, which have acted together since history, will increase. With the opening of the Zangezur corridor, regional and world trade will be revived. Peace, tranquility, stability and economic development will be ensured in the Caucasus. With thisstudy, both the meaning and importance of Turkey-Azerbaijan relations and the effects of the Karabakh Victory are tried to be evaluated. Purpose: To evaluate the Turkey-Azerbaijan relations and the effects of the Karabakh Victory within the framework of these relations. Methodology: To evaluate the developments according to scientific sources and statistics. Scientific novelty:Relations between Turkey and Azerbaijan could not develop during the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). When the USSR collapsed in 1991, relations between the two countries improved. Armenia's occupation of Azerbaijani lands and its baseless claims against the two countries were weakened by the Karabakh Victory. It is important to investigate the effects of these post-victory relationships
