The author emphasizes that the relations between Azerbaijan and Turkey (Türkiye) are not limited to diplomatic interaction between the two states, but are based on common ethnogenetic, linguistic, religious and cultural roots dating back to the Oghuz Turks. The study traces the main stages of the historical rapprochement of the two peoples: from migrations and cultural interactions during the Seljuk and Ottoman eras, through a short-term strategic partnership during the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic, to the period of official rupture under Soviet rule and the subsequent restoration of close ties after Azerbaijan gained independence in 1991.}, number={2}, publisher={Hakan YILMAZ}
