Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu has arrived in Azerbaijan, Trend reports with reference to the minister’s Facebook page.
“Had a preliminary meeting in our Embassy in Baku before attending the Foreign Ministerial Meeting and the 7th Summit of the Turkic Council,” he wrote.
The 7th summit of the Turkic Council will be held in Baku on Oct.15.
The Cooperation Council of Turkic Speaking States (Turkic
Council) was established in 2009 as an intergovernmental
organization, with the overarching aim of promoting comprehensive
cooperation among Turkic Speaking States. Its four founding member
states are Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Turkey.
The Turkic Council is committed to the purpose and principles of
the Charter of the United Nations (UN) and other universally
recognized principles and norms of international law, including
sovereign equality, territorial integrity and inviolability of
internationally recognized borders of states, as well as the
maintenance of international peace, security and development of
good-neighbourly and friendly relations.
Turkic Council is an organization dedicated to strengthening peace
and stability, promoting wide-ranging cooperation and disclosing
the potential for common development among its member states.
Although it brings together a particular group of countries, the
organization does not take an exclusive approach. On the contrary,
by promoting deeper relations and solidarity amongst Turkic
speaking countries, it aims to serve as a new regional instrument
for advancing international cooperation in Eurasian continent,
particularly in Central Asia and Caucasus.
