Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan Making Considerable Contributions To Strengthening Fraternal Relations Among Turkic-Speaking States President Ilham Aliyev

BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 11. Azerbaijan and Kyrgyzstan are actively contributing to the strengthening of fraternal relations between Turkic speaking states, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said during an expanded meeting of the First Interstate Council of Azerbaijan and Kyrgyzstan, reports.

'For my part, I would also like to note the common historical and cultural roots that bring our peoples together and form a solid foundation for interstate relations. Today I visited the Memorial to the Fallen, as well as the grave of the great son of the Kyrgyz people, Chingiz Aitmatov. I had the pleasure of meeting him in Baku and recall those meetings with warmth. He is rightfully the source of pride not only for the Kyrgyz people, but of the entire Turkic world.
Today, the Turkic world is gaining new potential, and both Azerbaijan and Kyrgyzstan are actively contributing to the strengthening of fraternal relations between Turkic speaking states. The summit to be held next month, I think, will be another step towards strengthening our unity. We must be closer to our roots, we must rely on our traditions, on the covenants of our ancestors, and preserve and protect the unique culture of our peoples in order to always follow the path of independence and national dignity,' the head of state said.
