He credited the unwavering political will and mutual trust between Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan for elevating bilateral ties to a globally exceptional level.
Aliyev underlined that safeguarding human rights and freedoms remains a top state priority in Azerbaijan, supported by comprehensive state programs and strategic frameworks that enable systematic action.
Mehmet Akarca thanked Azerbaijani officials for the warm hospitality and highlighted that consistent meetings in Baku, Nakhchivan, Ankara, and Istanbul—as well as collaboration at international platforms—have significantly deepened bilateral ties.
In recognition of his efforts to enhance legal cooperation and his contributions to human rights advocacy, Kamran Aliyev awarded Mehmet Akarca the 100th Anniversary Jubilee Medal of the Azerbaijani Prosecution Service.
