The visit also comes amid "flag crisis".
Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu is set to depart on Thursday
for Azerbaijan, diplomatic sources told Anadolu news agency.
Davutoglu will participate in a meeting of the foreign ministers of
the Black Sea Economic Cooperation.
The visit also comes amid "flag crisis".
Azerbaijan, which have been uneasy about the recent rapprochement
between Turkey and Armenia, hauled down Turkish flag at Martyrdom
Mosque in the Azerbaijani martyrdom.
Turkish PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned Azerbaijan on Tuesday against
provocation in bilateral relations.
"The Martyrdom Mosque in the Azerbaijani martyrdom is what really hurts
us. I believe that our Azerbaijani brothers will very well assess what
hauling down of the Turkish flag in the martyrdom meant," Erdogan said.
The Turkish foreign minister is expected to meet Azeri President
Ilham Aliyev and his counterpart Elmar Mammadyarov.
