By Sara Rajabova
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who arrived in Baku with working visit, met with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev on April 4, Turkish Anadolu agency reported.
The two presidents are also expected to hold a joint press conference after the vis-a-vis meeting and a meeting between delegations closed to the press.
Prior to his Baku visit, Erdogan said the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, as well as large projects being implemented by the two countries in the region will be discussed during the meetings.
Azerbaijan-Turkey relations have always been strong due to a common culture and history and the mutual intelligibility of Turkish and Azerbaijani languages.
Turkey was the first country in the world to recognize Azerbaijan's independence in 1991 and has been a staunch supporter of Azerbaijan in its efforts to consolidate its independence, preserve its territorial integrity, and realize its economic potential that arise from the rich natural resources of the Caspian Sea.
The countries share a short 8km-border, with the Aras River separating Turkey from the Nakhchivan exclave.
