Azerbaijani Defense Minister Safar Abiyev and Defense Industry Minister Yaver Jamalov are on a visit to Istanbul where they are attending the IDEF 2013 International Defense Industry Fair, which is being held on May 7-10.

Around 130 defense goods produced in Azerbaijan, in particular, Gurza patrol vehicles, 7.62 х 54 millimeter Gurza machine guns, 7.62 х 51 millimeter Yalguzag sniper rifles, 7.62 х 54 millimeter attack machine guns of HP-7.62 type, Aerostar and Orbiter unmanned drones, are among the exhibits at IDEF-2013.

Earlier Jamalov said IDEF-2013 is the 11th international exhibition which is attended by the Azerbaijani Ministry of Defense Industry and added that regular display of goods produced at the ministry's facilities in international defense industry exhibitions has now become a tradition.

The IDEF-2013 fair is being held at the TÜYAP Fair and Exhibition Center under the auspices of the Turkish Ministry of National Defense.

IDEF is the biggest defense industry fair in its region and one of the most popular fairs in the world. It brings together senior international delegations, trade visitors and exhibitors from the entire supply chain.

As the most comprehensive and important marketing platform of the defense industry, IDEF-2013 is being attended by the leading companies of the defense industry, with more than 500 companies from 36 countries in attendance.

This event has become one of the most important regional cooperation and promotion platforms for keeping track of the technological developments, implementing supply programs, demonstration and introduction of the modern vehicles, equipment and weapon systems.

The IDEF fair has been organized by the Turkish Armed Forces Foundation since 1993. The Foundation organizes the IDEF once in every two years and before each fair it chooses the organizer firm and exhibition venue by announcing a tender. The exhibitions generally take place in Ankara or Istanbul.
