"We have signed a one-year contract with experienced striker Vincent Aboubakar," Hatayspor said in a post on social media.
The 32-year-old rejoined Besiktas in January 2023, after a year and a half with Saudi club Al-Nassr.
Capped over 100 times for Cameroon, Aboubaker won two Turkish league titles with Besiktas in his two spells in 2017 and 2021.
He also won two league titles with Portuguese club Porto and the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations with Cameroon.
Antakya club Hatayspor are second last in the Turkish league.
