Baku, 28 September 2021 (TDI): Azerbaijan extended warm greetings and congratulations on the 30th anniversary of the Independence Day of Turkmenistan.
Turkmenistan declared its Independence from the Soviet Union after the Independence referendum in 1991. The two countries have embassies in each other’s capitals. Both countries have close linguistic affinities. Baku and Ashgabat have begun to cooperate more in commercial spheres, most notably with the signing of a memorandum in 2020 on joint exploitation of the cross-boundary serdar oil field in the Caspian region.
It also reflects the mutual desire of the two states for increased cooperation in multiple spheres. This cooperation is the result of increased contact between the two neighboring countries over the last two years.
