We always participate in large-scale measures of Turks residing in the world. According to the task of the Azerbaijani President, we establish close relations with many Turkic diasporas in the world. During the visit to the USA, we will participate in the congress of the Turkish diaspora and meet with Turks residing in America. We will discuss the future activities of the Azerbaijani and Turkish diasporas, as well as the planned joint forum of the Azerbaijani and Turkish diasporas due in March 2007 in Baku, Ibrahimov stated.
He noted that because this Forum has been initiated by the Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, the date of the Forum will be confirmed by the President.
