“The strengthening of relations with Member States of the Organization of Turkic States in all fields is one of the top priorities of Azerbaijan’s foreign policy,” said President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev as he made a speech at the 9th Summit of the Organization of Turkic States in Samarkand.

“Azerbaijan has always contributed to the close unity of the Turkic world and will continue to be committed to the goals of unity of the Turkic world,” the Azerbaijani President noted.

”Starting from the Nakhchivan Summit of 2009, our organization has covered a long path of development. The Turkic world covers a vast geography inhabited by more than 200 million people and has great economic potential, energy resources, transportation routes and advanced military capabilities,” President Ilham Aliyev noted

“The Turkic world is a large family. Taking each other’s national interests into account, we must continue to show mutual support and solidarity. In addition to the political, economic, commercial, cultural, transport, energy, digital transformation, agriculture and tourism, we should also activate our cooperation in the fields of security, defense and defense industry,” the Azerbaijani President added.
