He noted that Azerbaijan’s wealth lies not in oil and gas, but in rich culture.

He noted that the cooperation between Azerbaijan and Iran has bright future.
“We must not allow anyone to stand between our peoples,” Turkman added.
He said the Culture and Islamic Communications Organization has 80 cultural centers in 60 countries.

Azerbaijan has a rich literature, and Iran is interested in cooperation in this sphere,” Ebrahimi Turkman said.
He noted that in 2015, Iran will hold the days of culture of Azerbaijan, and in 2016 the days of culture of Iran will be held in Azerbaijan.
“We support Azerbaijan in the lavash issue. This is our common heritage,” Ebrahimi Turkman said.
