Turkmenistan's joining the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway launched in 2018 will give impetus to the further development of trade and economic relations between Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan, Azerbaijani Deputy Prime Minister Hajibala Abutalibov said.
Abutalibov made the remarks at a solemn event dedicated to the 27th anniversary of independence of Turkmenistan, organized by the country's embassy in Baku.
He congratulated the Turkmen side on a significant date, stressing that the peoples of the two countries have common roots and history.
Abutalibov also stressed that he himself was born in Krasnovodsk city (now Turkmenbashi) in Turkmenistan.
He emphasized that Azerbaijani national leader Heydar Aliyev, who repeatedly made official visits to Turkmenistan, attached great importance to the relations between the two countries.
'Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev's policy is also aimed at strengthening ties with Turkmenistan, as a result of which it was possible to implement large-scale projects, such as Turkmenistan's further joining the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway, as well as the implementation of the Trans-Caspian gas pipeline project,' Abutalibov said.
In conclusion, he once again stressed that fraternal relations between Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan are unbreakable.
