Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan has announced the possibility of establishing a Turkish military base in Azerbaijan within the framework of an agreement signed by Azerbaijan and Turkey in Shushi.

RIA Novosti reported.

“The issue of the Turkish military base in Azerbaijan is not beyond the provisions of the Shushi agreement. Further development of this issue is possible. The main thing now is to ensure border security,” Erdogan said.

In particular, the text of the agreement signed by the Presidents of Azerbaijan and Turkey on Tuesday states that the two countries will act jointly in case of threat or aggression by a third country. The agreement states that “the parties will continue their joint efforts to modernize the armed forces of the two brotherly countries in accordance with modern requirements.”
