“The Protocol signed on December 10, 2020, between the Republic of Turkey and the Republic of Azerbaijan, which allows both countries’ citizens to travel using their national identity cards, will enter into force on April 1, 2021,” the Ministry said.
The Ministry noted that citizens of Turkey and Azerbaijan traveling directly between the two countries would be able to travel without needing their passports and only by presenting their new generation identity cards.
“The new practice starting as of 1 April 2021 will strengthen our already existing strong ties with Azerbaijan as expressed in the motto “one nation, two states,” the Ministry added.
