Today, Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev will visit Ankara at the invitation of his Turkish counterpart, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
The two leaders will meet at the Presidential Complex, as Fahrettin Altun, Turkish presidency's spokesperson posted on X.
The discussions will focus on strengthening the 'brotherly ties' between Ankara and Baku, along with addressing regional and global developments, Altun added.
On the occasion of the visit, the opening ceremony will be held to launch the Iğdır-Nakhchivan Natural Gas Pipeline, a project jointly initiated by Presidents Erdoğan and Ilham Aliyev on September 25, 2023.
The Iğdır-Nakhchivan Gas Pipeline is a strategic and crucial energy project linking Türkiye with Azerbaijan’s Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic. It aims to meet the region's energy needs while fostering regional cooperation. Spanning 97.5 kilometers, the pipeline includes 80 kilometers in Türkiye’s Iğdır province and 17.5 kilometers in Azerbaijan’s Nakhchivan region.
This pipeline will transport approximately 730 million cubic meters of natural gas annually, with the potential to expand to 1.82 billion cubic meters. The project addresses Nakhchivan’s long-standing energy challenges, which stem from its geographic isolation and reliance on Iranian supplies. By connecting to Türkiye’s extensive BOTAS network, the pipeline strengthens energy security in the region and deepens the economic ties between the two countries.
