Trouble in ties: Azerbaijan's ruling party slams Turkiye's governing AKP for encouraging conservatism

Azerbaijan's New Azerbaijan Party has criticized the ruling Justice and Development Party in Turkiye. This criticism stems from comments regarding headscarves for female students in Azerbaijani schools. The YAP emphasizes the need for Turkish political figures to respect Azerbaijan's sovereignty. They specifically mention the importance of understanding Azerbaijan's constitutional structure and legal framework. Such interference in internal affairs is viewed as regrettable by the YAP.
