A special command group has been set up in Baku to represent the Turkish Armed Forces in Azerbaijan. The special group includes four Turkish generals, headed by Major General Bakhtiyar Ersay, head of the Turkish Land Forces Operations Department. At the same time, the military attaché of the Turkish Armed Forces in Baku has been changed.
That position is now held by General Zakaria Yalcin. Experts attribute these changes to the recent declaration on allied relations between Turkey and Azerbaijan.
