The cooperation process with both countries had been going on for a while. An official cooperation agreement was signed with Azerbaijan at the IDEF23 fair.
However, no official cooperation agreement has been signed with Pakistan yet...

The source is spreading false information.
1. Pakistan has unfortunately not joined the KAAN project.
2. The agreement is about producing components for a fighter jet (likely Hurjet and KAAN)
3. KAAN will most likely fly alone on the 27th of December

Not true,Pakistan did not join the project and no part of the KAAN will be produced in Pakistan or anywhere else but Türkiye(maybe in Azerbaijan).

If Azerbaijan is to be a part of the program, their universities will take part in the program in some way or another, like ours do. Russophile academicians should be kept under watchful eyes. Same with Anglophile ones too, of course.

Not enough. Universities are prime breeding grounds for fifth-column activities and general mankurtery.
BTW Turkiye needs to be vigilant about this as well. Our universities are already on the brink of oblivion as it is.

Azerbaijan will send 200 engineers to Turkiye to get training according to the Kaan cooperation agreement.
Temel Kotil says TAI has 5 F110s, 5 more will be delivered. F110s will be produced in Turkiye. Big news if it is true.

What level of tech is Turkey willing to share with Azerbaijan and probably Pakistan (as some rumors state)?
Is it only involving parts production or may involve more complicated processes? And how will Turkey guarantee that the parts to be produced abroad is of superior quality and cheaper when Azerbaijan currency is better than the lira?

I doubt Pakistan because Pakistan will be imploding in the future by this rate.
Even my Pakistani friend which I went to school with has officially given up on Pakistan.
We'd have to be idiots of colossal proportion to include Pakistan is any capacity in Kaan, imo even as a customer. They are a step or two away from collapsing and turning into an unofficial satellite to China, I wouldn't want any of our critical tech anywhere near them.

We have already given them UAVs, this is an indication that we will do the same with this plane.
In fact, it would be better if we cooperated with Pakistan in the fields of nuclear, missiles, rockets and Space.
Afghanistan and Pakistan look like countries with no future.

Well, should be true if temel kotil says it no?
UAV's are one thing, Kaan is a completely different story though. I also wouldn't want Kızılelma or Anka-3 to be sold to them as well.

Türkiye’s domestically developed 5th-generation fighter jet "KAAN" will start flights in December, according to the head of Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI).
TAI General Manager Temel Kotil told a television program that they chose Dec. 27, for KAAN's first appearance in Turkish skies, five years earlier than planned.
On Dec. 27, 1919, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, founder of the Republic of Türkiye, and his brothers-in-arms arrived in Ankara, which was one of the watershed moments in the establishment of the independent Turkish republic and the beginning of the War of Independence.
KAAN was originally scheduled to fly with a Turkish engine in 2028, but the process ended faster than they expected, Kotil said.
While the KAAN project began in 2016, TAI was expected to deliver the fighter jets to the Turkish Air Forces Command by 2028.
The 21-meter (about 69-feet) aircraft can reach a maximum speed of Mach 1.8 (2,222 kph) thanks to its twin engines, which can produce 29,000 pounds (13,000 kilograms) thrust each.
The KAAN's capabilities include high situational awareness, optimized pilot workload, combat damage detection, new-generation mission systems, low observability, precision strikes and an internal weapon bay.
The fifth-generation aircraft KAAN was developed by TAI with the aim to replace the Turkish army's aging F-16 fleet.
