ANTALYA, Türkiye, April 11. Azerbaijan plays a significant role in the development of the Organization of Turkic States, the Secretary General of the Organization of Turkic States Kubanychbek Omuraliev told Trend.
“Azerbaijan is not only the founder but also a very active member of our organization. We, as one big family, have always been, are and will be together,” Omuraliyev said on the sidelines of the 4th Anatalya Diplomatic Forum.
Speaking about the importance of the OTS, he noted that the
organization unites states that share common historical roots,
culture, traditions, language and religion.

secretary general emphasized.
He also recalled the recent summit in Bishkek, which took place

the third summit will be held in Baku, Azerbaijan,” Omuraliev

cooperation in various spheres.
