Aliyev received Bayraktar and Haluk Gorgun, CEO of ASELSAN (Turkish defense company), in Baku. The Karabak Order has been given to soldiers and civilians for their role in regaining of Nagorno-Karabakh and its surroundings, which were under occupation of Armenia. In a statement Bayraktar said on Twitter that they will continue to work for the future of one nation-two state, referring to Azerbaijan and Turkey. “I am very honored and proud to be awarded with the Karabakh Order, together with my father Ozdemir Bayraktar and brother Haluk Bayraktar, by the Azerbaijani President, Mr Ilham Aliyev,” Bayraktar said in a tweet. Turkish UAVs manufactured by Baykar played a key role in changing the balance of power in Libya in favor of the Turkish-backed PNC government in Tripoli, and helped Azerbaijan defeat Armenia in Karabakh. Last year, British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace called the role of Turkish drones in modern warfare in the Middle East and North Africa “game-changing."
