President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan will travel to Azerbaijan on Saturday.

The visit coincides with Azerbaijan's Independence Day, the Presidency's Directorate of Communications said in a statement on Friday evening.

Erdoğan will also visit Teknofest Azerbaijan, the first international edition of Turkey's leading technology and aviation fair that kicked off in the Azerbaijani capital Baku on Thursday.

The national flags of Turkey and Azerbaijan, as well as attack helicopters and planes, started flying over Baku on Thursday, with throngs of visitors flocking to Teknofest Azerbaijan, which lasts through Sunday.

The expansion of the event to neighboring Azerbaijan marks the latest example of the close links between the two nations and their determination to strengthen partnerships and develop advanced technologies.

Last year saw Azerbaijan take part in the festival for the first time with 11 local companies and startups.
