President Erdoğan: Our relations with Azerbaijan are far beyond classical diplomatic contacts

President Erdoğan answered journalists' questions on the plane returning from his visit to South Korea.

Commenting on the fund investigation, President Erdoğan said:

"(Fund investigation) Both legislation, administrative measures and judicial processes are all under close surveillance. Bribery, irregularity, abuse, all of these are being uncovered one by one. Following the ordinary liquidations, payments began in extraordinary liquidations as of Friday last week. As assured, these payments are being made uninterruptedly. Our basic principle is to manage this process without using public resources. I would like to underline that the use of public resources is out of the question here."

Stating that he will visit Azerbaijan, Erdogan continued as follows:

"Azerbaijan's Victory Day is on November 8. I am thinking of visiting Azerbaijan on November 8, unless an extraordinary situation occurs. I hope we will have the opportunity to take the necessary steps on the occasion of this visit. Our relations with Azerbaijan are far beyond classical diplomatic contacts. The unbreakable bond of the two countries is the product of our common history, culture, destiny and, hopefully, our future."
