BAKU – Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev has congratulated Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan on a convincing victory of the ruling AKP party in parliamentary elections held on Sunday, the Azerbaijani president’s press service said.
During a phone call later in the day, President Aliyev said that under Erdogan’s leadership Turkey has covered a long successful path, underlining that this victory was an expression of the Turkish people’s trust in the AKP party he chairs.
