Fidan further noted: "We will continue our cooperation with our brother Azerbaijan and will move forward side by side towards our common goals." He also thanked Jeyhun Bayramov and Azerbaijani officials for their warm hospitality.

Given the ongoing challenges in the South Caucasus and the need for international cooperation, the Turkish Foreign Minister's statements may help strengthen these collaborations and create calm in the region. This comes as Turkey and Azerbaijan are recognized as two key countries in ensuring security and stability in this part of the world.
