Azerbaijani, Turkish diaspora institutions to enhance cooperation

The cooperation between the diaspora institutions of Turkey and Azerbaijan will be further enhanced and strengthened with the recently inked Shusha agreement, the Presidency for Turks Abroad and Related Communities (YTB) stated on Tuesday, AzVision.az reports citing Daily Sabah.

The agreement provides the basis for more comprehensive and dense cooperation in the institutions’ activities within the scope of international law, the YTB said.

Through strengthening the cooperation between both countries’ diaspora, both will act together in the face of common challenges. The two countries’ diaspora institutions will also focus on the promotion of Turkey and Azerbaijan and will play significant roles in making heard historical realities to the world.

YTB head Abdullah Eren said, “We have carried out many examples of cooperation until today – ranging from education, history and culture – as the two countries’ diaspora institutions.

Noting Turkey's support of Azerbaijan during its 44-day war against Armenia, Ereb stated that the YTB visited Baku during those difficult times in a show of solidarity. He added that he came together with the government committee responsible for the diaspora and its head, Fuad Muradov.

“We will contribute to our unity, which is displayed the best by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and (Azerbaijan) President Ilham Aliyev with the principle, 'One people, One diaspora.'”

On June 15, Turkey and Azerbaijan signed a declaration “on allied relations” aimed at deepening ties in several areas of cooperation, including security, during Erdogan's visit to Shusha – a city that Azerbaijan liberated from the Armenian occupation on November 8, 2020.
