Asadov said Azerbaijani-Turkish relations develop in an ascending manner on
all directions and are an example for other countries. The two countries have so
far concluded some 170 legal documents, and the President of Azerbaijan and the
Prime Minister of Turkey signed a Joint Declaration to establish a Top-Level
Council for Strategic Cooperation.
This is an illustrative example of
top-level relations between the two states, Asadov noted.
He also voiced his
satisfaction with the level of inter-parliamentary links between Azerbaijan and
Turkey.
For his part, Bozkyr highly appreciated current development of Azerbaijan. He also touched upon the issue of settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. The official said the Turkish-Armenian borders will not be opened until this conflict is resolved. In this connection, the Zurich Protocols also will not be submitted for discussion to the International Relations Committee, he added.
In addition, Volkan Bozkyr voiced his gratitude to the Azerbaijani nation and state for attention to and care about those who had suffered from an earthquake in Van.
Prospects of development of inter-parliamentary links, and issues of international partnership and struggle with terrorism were also examined at the meeting.
The meeting was also attended by Safa Mirzoyev, Head of the Parliament's Staff, Samed Seyidov, Chairman of the Parliament's International Relations and Inter-Parliamentary Links Committee, Ramil Hasanov, Secretary General of the Turkic Parliamentary Assembly, Hulusi Kylyj, Turkey's Ambassador to Azerbaijan, and other officials
