Presenting the Supreme Order to the President of Azerbaijan, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said:

-Dear President, Dear Brother, Victorious Commander-in-Chief Mr. Ilham Aliyev.

Under your resolute leadership, the occupation of Karabakh, which lasted about 30 years, was ended in in a matter of 44 days. This is of great importance not only for our Azerbaijani brothers, but also for the entire Turkic world.

As a result of the Patriotic War, UN Security Council resolutions that were not implemented for years have finally been implemented. In this way, Azerbaijan has inscribed a message of justice in the memory of the international community.

The re-establishment of Azerbaijan's territorial integrity has expanded the unity and equality of the Turkic world. Kharibulbul, which is a symbol of the freedom of Karabakh, was the herald of Victory for the Turkic world.

The Karabakh Victory not only liberated the occupied territories, but also paved the way for lasting peace, stability and cooperation in our region.

Taking this opportunity, I am deeply pleased to present the Supreme Order of the Turkic World to my dear brother Ilham Aliyev. I remember with gratitude and respect our heroes who rose to the peak of martyrdom on the path to freedom.
