The unofficial summit meeting of the Organization of Turkic States, which took place in Shusha on July 6, was marked by the adoption of a historical document. We must say with certainty that the signed Karabakh Declaration and the adopted decisions will further strengthen the solidarity of the Turkic world and the international reputation of the Organization of Turkic States.
The informal Summit meeting of the Organization of Turkic States, held annually at the initiative of Azerbaijan, is an important platform for further strengthening cooperation between member countries.
Day.Az reports that Sevil Mikayilova, a member of the Milli Majlis, said this in a statement to Trend.
According to him, the steps taken by the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev towards the unification of the Turkic world were successful in a short period of time.
“Today, TDT, which has become an effective discussion platform of Turkic-speaking countries united around a single idea, is playing a historic role for the bright future of the peoples represented in this geography.
As the President of Azerbaijan stated in his speech, the Organization of Turkic States should become one of the world’s power centers.
“We cover a large geographical area, positive demographic dynamics are observed in the member countries, our military potential has repeatedly shown itself on the battlefields. Our rich natural resources, modern infrastructure for their transportation, transport corridors connecting Central Asia, the Caucasus with Mediterranean and Black Sea ports, rich and Our ancient history and culture are our great wealth. The fact that our people have the same ethnic roots unites our countries. The 21st century should be the century of the development of the Turkish world.”
We should note that the expansion of relations with Turkic countries is one of the main priorities in Azerbaijan’s foreign policy. Strengthening the Turkic world and the Organization of Turkic States strengthens Azerbaijan’s position in the international arena.
Azerbaijan has always made efforts for the unification of the Turkic world. President Ilham Aliyev’s initiatives increase the political, economic and military power of the Turkic world and turn it into a power center in the global arena,” the deputy added.
S. Mikayilova noted that, as President Ilham Aliyev emphasized in his speech, the Organization of Turkic States should become one of the world’s power centers:
“Member countries have a large geographical area, positive demographic dynamics and high military potential. Rich natural resources and modern infrastructure are the great wealth of the Turkic world.
The loyalty of our people to traditional values and having the same ethnic roots unites our countries even more. President Ilham Aliyev emphasized that the current budget and structure of the Organization of Turkic States are not sufficient for the realization of the intended goals, and therefore Azerbaijan has recently transferred funds in the amount of 2 million US dollars to the account of the Secretariat.
President Ilham Aliyev’s speech at the informal Summit of the Heads of State of the Organization of Turkic States in Shusha once again confirmed the growing role of Azerbaijan in the international world and its efforts to further strengthen the unity of the Turkic world. This meeting also opens new perspectives for further strengthening of relations and deepening of cooperation in various fields.
