Azerbaijan to join World Turkish Forum
Members of the Azerbaijani Parliament Malahat Ibrahimgizi and
Musa Gasimli will leave for Turkey to attend the 4th World Turkish
Forum on April 23-26.
The Forum organized by Turkish Asian Center for Strategic Studies
will discuss how to strengthen the unity of the Turkic world,
achievements in this direction, as well as current problems,
AzerTac state news agency reported.
The event will bring together representatives from TURKSOY member countries.
TURKSOY is an international cultural organization of countries with Turkic populations, whose speaking languages belong to the Turkic language family.
The organization has its roots going back to the 1992 meetings in Baku and Istanbul, where the ministers of culture from Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkey, and Turkmenistan declared their commitment to cooperate in a joint cultural framework. TURKSOY was subsequently established by an agreement signed on July 12, 1993 in Almaty, Kazakhstan.
