Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's official visit to Azerbaijan ended on the evening of 8 November. A guard of honour lined up at Fuzuli International Airport, where President Ilham Aliyev and First Lady Mehriban Aliyeva saw off Erdoğan and his wife Emine Erdoğan.

Before the visit Erdoğan had sent President Aliyev a letter of congratulations on the sixth anniversary of Victory Day. He wrote that Azerbaijan's victory is a source of pride for the whole Turkic world and that the rapid rebuilding of the liberated lands makes everyone proud. He said he is sure the cooperation based on the “One nation, two states” idea, raised to its highest level by the Shusha Declaration, will continue, and noted that the South Caucasus is now known as a region of cooperation and development.
