This could also mean Turkey and Azerbaijan reciprocating with increased support to Pakistan over the Kashmir dispute. Speaking exclusively to Pakistan Today, Azerbaijan’s Ambassador to Pakistan Ali Alizade said: “Azerbaijan, Pakistan, and Turkey are brotherly countries and already have a strategic partnership on a bilateral level. “I think we can establish and enhance defence industrial cooperation at a trilateral level, in spheres ranging from military-technical to science, research, design, production, and sales,” he told Pakistan Today. Baku has been seeking ways of expanding military cooperation with Pakistan, particularly over the last several years,” he said. Pakistan has trained around 100 units of military personnel in Azerbaijan over the past decade, whilst Turkey also provided training to Pakistan Air Force (PAF) officers in upgrading its F-16 fleet.
