In accordance with the will of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev and the President of the Republic of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and the spirit of the brotherly relations between Azerbaijan and Turkey, the citizens of Azerbaijan together with the citizens of Turkey have been evacuated by Turkish aircraft from Wuhan city of the People’s Republic of China on February 1, 2020. It is expected that the aircraft will land in Turkey today in the evening. In this regard, we express our gratitude to the brotherly Republic of Turkey. This is yet another bright example of the Azerbaijan and Turkey brotherhood.

Before the flight our citizens passed health checks and their situation is satisfactory. Our citizens on a voluntary basis will spend 2 weeks in quarantine in Turkey and afterwards return to Azerbaijan.

We express our gratitude to the Government of the People’s Republic of China for their support rendered to our citizens and solidarity with the friendly People and Government of China in their temporary hard times.
