"Azerbaijan meets Turkiye's needs for tents and containers. What are our needs, what work can we do in this direction - we continue to discuss all these issues. Today, 26 container houses will be sent from Azerbaijan to Türkiye," Bagci said.

The ambassador is happy with the aid from Azerbaijan and expressed his gratitude.
