Commenting on the importance of military cooperation between
Azerbaijan and Turkey, Brig-Gen Omer Bayrakli, the TSK [Turkish Armed
Forces] attache in Baku [title as published], said: "As our Great
Leader has pointed out, Azerbaijan's grief is our grief, and its joy
is our joy."
Speaking at a ceremony marking the delivery of various materials and
equipment - such as 10 mobile ovens and portable field radios -
donated by the TSK to the Azeri army, Brig-Gen Bayrakli said that
training and logistics support to Azerbaijan would continue. He added:
"Our support for Azerbaijan is at the forefront of Turkey's activities
with countries across the world on the issue of partnership for
peace."
Expressing his gratitude to the Turkish and Azeri leaders and military
echelons who have contributed to the development of cooperation
between the two countries, Bayrakli said that the TSK did not yet have
most of the items donated today, and that they were produced with the
application of the latest technology.
Stating that the aid given cannot be explained with economic
motivations, Bayrakli said that he was proud to be delivering the
equipment.
Also speaking at the ceremony, Col Piri Israfilov, commander of
provisions in the Azeri Army and deputy head of the Logistics
Department of the Azeri Ministry of Defence, described the importance
of the aid provided by the TSK.
Later officials from the two sides signed the transfer documents of
the donated equipment. The donated items, worth approximately 2m
dollars, include 10 mobile ovens installed on field vehicles, fully
operational portable field radios, and other similar equipment. The
transfer ceremony was originally scheduled for the morning hours but
was held in the evening.
