"The Extraordinary Summit of the Heads of State of the Organization of Turkic States in Ankara should be regarded as an important stage in the direction of further increasing the role of the Turkic world in the new geopolitical configuration, and at the same time as an expression of the further strengthening of Azerbaijan's leading position in the Turkic world."

MP Bahruz Maharramov said this in his statement to APA.

The deputy said that it was the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev who united the potential of the Turkic world for the first time in order to create a single effort, and this unity formula has become a very effective mechanism in the fight against the pandemic: "The goals that were set when the organization was created, as well as the goals that underwent transformation against the background of the new geopolitical reality, are clear and sufficiently is healthy. First of all, because our cooperation is not based only on moral foundations - in the middle is the reality formed by President Ilham Aliyev and the sovereign national interests of the states are ensured. As Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan stated at the summit, "Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline continuously delivers the oil of Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan to the world markets through its pipeline."Thanks to the Southern Gas Corridor, the backbone of which is TANAP, the Turkish states play an important role in ensuring Europe's energy security."

That is, as the leader of Turkey clearly stated, the long-term prospects of TDT are directly related to the transnational energy infrastructure that the President of Azerbaijan was able to create despite all difficulties and resistance with great foresight.

The Zangezur Corridor, which Azerbaijan is rapidly implementing today, will be a second breath for the Turkic world, and every member of the Organization of Turkic States, including the observer members, understands this very well and has started acting as an interested party for the full realization of the project.

In fact, we are witnessing the raising of fundamental national interests for Azerbaijan to the level of national interests for other states, and this, in turn, should be considered a successful political combination of President Ilham Aliyev.

it was at the Ankara Summit that the organization took an important step towards asserting itself as a serious international subject by reacting to processes on a global scale.

In the Ankara statement, the states strongly condemned the recent hate crimes against our holy book, the Holy Quran, which could lead to racist, xenophobic and Islamophobic provocations and attacks, as well as the deadly armed attack against the embassy of the Republic of Azerbaijan in Iran. The Organization of Turkic States as an important political power position has been revealed".

According to the deputy, the Ankara meeting was also an ideal platform for discussing the future prospects of the organization itself, especially preparations for the 10th Summit of the Organization of Turkic States to be held in Kazakhstan in October 2023: is being realized, and Mr. Gurbangulu Berdimuhamedov expressed Turkmenistan's interest in transitioning from observation to membership at the next Summit meeting.

Of course, all this is doubly important for us.

Because it is the Turkish unity that is getting stronger.

"Azerbaijan played a central role in this unity and high relations, and Mr. Ilham Aliyev personally initiated the processes."
