"I am very pleased that future representatives of the great Turkic world are participating in this event. Today, there are children from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Hungary, Lithuania, Azerbaijan and of course, Turkey, who are a bridge between fraternal states. They are our hope, our joy, our tomorrow. The Turkic world has a deep history and cultural heritage and our children should preserve this wealth in the future," said Afandiyeva.

"Whatever sphere they choose, they must be good specialists, professionals in their field, so that adults, looking at them, are proud of them. And we, in turn, must give them a world in which they can live happily. I am very glad that as children grow up, they will also study in depth the cultural heritage of the fraternal countries. This is the mission of our Foundation," she added.

Then the children representing the member and observer countries of the Foundation: Belinay Uygun (Turkey), Ipek Majid (Azerbaijan), Amina Nurmakhambetova (Kazakhstan), Madina Almazbekova (Kyrgyzstan), David Bedeks (Hungary), Medina Gurbangeldieva and Heseljeman Garaeva (Turkmenistan), Arnas Jan Eren (Turkey - Lithuania), Melek Khalilova (Azerbaijan), Zeynep Kaya (Turkey), Gulyaz Hasanzade, Kanan Bashirli, Elkhan Mammadli, Mirali Alizade, Mahir Hajiyev (Azerbaijan) read poems, performed songs in national costumes in their native language, as well as music on traditional instruments.
