Thanks to his politics and leadership, Türkiye has advanced considerably in recent years, become a worldwide power centre, and has a voice on a global scale that is not limited to a specific region. I believe that everyone is aware of Türkiye's power over politics, the economy, and other fields. Thanks to the leadership of my dear brother, Türkiye's development and stability are important for the entire Turkic world. Because the powerful state of the Republic of Türkiye is at the centre of the Turkic world. The resiliency of Türkiye provides each of us, individually, with strength. Therefore, each of us should be appreciative of our dear brother. I am present here today with great honour on behalf of the people of Azerbaijan. I convey the affection of the people of Azerbaijan to my dear brother. In Azerbaijan, Mr Tayyip is adored by all. When we talk about the unity of Turkic states now, I'm certain that we're looking towards the future. Because the foundation for our shared future is quite strong. These are our shared ancestry, language, religion, and interests."
