Turkey and Azerbaijan, with the participation of their air and ground forces, continued on Thursday joint military drills in the wake of recent Armenian attacks on Azerbaijani border points.
LAND AND AIR ELEMENTS TOOK PART IN THE EXERCISES
The Azerbaijani Defense Ministry in a statement said the next stage of “large-scale joint tactical exercises” was held in the country based on bilateral military cooperation agreements.
The armed forces performed various combat elements, as well as training and combat missions using armored vehicles and helicopters, it added.
The war games began on July 29, and Aug. 5 was the last day of ground engagements taking place in the capital Baku, and the exclave of Nakhchivan – Azerbaijan’s autonomous region bordering Turkey – with artillery, armored vehicles, and mortars striking simulated targets.
Azerbaijani authorities have time and again praised Turkey’s support “during hard times.”
