Azerbaijan hopes for the support by the Government of Turkey in connection with the project to build transnational information superhighway "East-West", the Minister of Communications and Information Technologies of Azerbaijan Ali Abbasov said during a meeting with the Minister of Transport and Communication of Turkey Binali Yildirim.

According to Abbasov, currently the interest in the project is displayed by such large operators as China Telecom (China), Rostelecom (Russia), Kazakhtelecom (Kazakhstan), as well as negotiations are conducted with the Iranian, Georgian and Turkish sides.

"Azerbaijan has repeatedly conducted negotiations with Turktelekom, who expressed willingness to cooperate in the project after receiving political support from the government," said Abbasov.

Abbasov believes that the positive solution of this issue can be contributed by the Ministry of Transport and Communication of Turkey.
Yildirim, in his turn, expressed his willingness to support this project. Abbasov also proposed to raise this issue at government level of the two countries and include it in the agenda of discussions that will take place during Turkish President Abdullah Gul's visit to Baku.
