“President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev has proposed the creation of a single media center in order to strengthen the cultural ties between mass media outlets of the Turkic-speaking countries and organize their coordination. We are working in this direction. However, we have achieved many successes together. The establishment of the International Turkic Academy and the Turks` Cultural Heritage Protection Fund with its central office in Baku will contribute to the strengthening of fraternal relations between our peoples. The late Azerbaijani President Heydar Aliyev, current President Ilham Aliyev and President of Heydar Aliyev Foundation Mehriban Aliyeva have taken significant steps toward the rapprochement of the Turkic word and protection of cultural heritage. The cooperation between the Turkic-speaking countries in UNESCO is noteworthy”, said the TURKPA Secretary General.
Referring to the need for further strengthening of the Assembly, J. Asanov said Azerbaijan took over the TURKPA chairmanship this year.
“We believe in positive changes in the activity of TURKPA. Azerbaijan plays a significant role in the establishment and development of Turkic peoples’ union”, he added.
