Turkey and Azerbaijan Leaders Pledge Unity Amid Tensions
On November 8, 2026, Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev reaffirmed their countries' alliance despite recent tensions. The dispute arose after Azerbaijan banned Islamic headscarves in schools, conflicting with Turkey's removal of hijab restrictions. Erdogan's adviser criticized Azerbaijan's policy, but Aliyev's party rejected the remarks. Additionally, Azerbaijan condemned Israel's recognition of the Armenian genocide, which could affect Azerbaijan-Israel relations.
