Erdogan Visits Azerbaijan for Victory Day Amid Recent Diplomatic Tensions
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan visited Azerbaijan on November 8, 2026, to attend Victory Day celebrations marking Azerbaijan's 2020 war victory over Armenia. The visit signals a potential easing of recent tensions between the allies, which arose after Azerbaijan banned Islamic headscarves in schools, drawing criticism from Erdogan's party. Despite past diplomatic strains, including Azerbaijan barring Turkish nationals and Erdogan dismissing an adviser, both leaders reaffirmed their commitment to strong bilateral ties and regional cooperation.
