The Entrepreneurship Development Department of the Azerbaijan Ministry of Economic Development plans to resume on 20 January 2007 talks with the Turkish organization TIKA on the implementation of the necessary measures in connection with the establishment of Internet portal kos.net. Samir Nuriyev, Department Head, informed Trend that the process was delayed due to different reasons.
50 forms were fulfilled by the Azerbaijan entrepreneurs. More will be submitted. On the other hand, Turkey updates their website and it will be available in 8 languages in the new version. Data on Azerbaijan enterprises will be placed in the website in Azerbaijani, but automatically translated in to other languages.
Presently the most important step is to translate the codes of goods and services into Azerbaijani. We wanted to use the Turkish version, but some words in Turkish do not coincide to those in Azerbaijani. The process takes time. There are 8,000 codes, Mr. Nuriyev said.
Initially it is planned to place in the website data on 100-200 Azerbaijan companies. However, after the conduct of promotion of the website, the entrepreneurs interested in the establishment of international relationships, will be able to add information about themselves.
Presentation dedicated to commissioning of the portal, originally scheduled for November 2006, has been postponed to an indefinite time.
