The Azerbaijani and Turkish Diaspora organizations in Europe will hold
a joint sitting to protest the opening of the Turkish-Armenian border,
sources in the State Committee for Diaspora Issues said.
"The State Committee for Diaspora Issues of Azerbaijan proposed
this initiative, considering numerous appeals from the Azerbaijani
and Turkish communities in Europe", the press service for the State
Committee reports.
"The event to be held in Frankfurt on November 21-22 will be organized
by the Congress of European Azerbaijanis and the Steering Council of
the Azerbaijan-Turkey Diaspora Organizations", the sources said.
In their appeals, the representatives of the Azerbaijani and Turkish
Diasporas in Europe voiced concerns over the protocols on establishment
of diplomatic relations between Ankara and Yerevan and the opening
of the Turkish-Armenian border signed between Turkey and Armenia in
Zurich on October 10. "The Diaspora organizations are against the
opening of the Armenian-Turkish border without the Karabakh conflict
settlement", the sources said.
The sitting will be held in three panels: "Azerbaijan-Turkey: common
history, common interests and common problems", "Integration of
Azerbaijan and Turkey with the world of globalization: realities,
problems and prospects", "Cooperation between the Diaspora
organizations of Azerbaijan and Turkey: current level of development
and prospects".
The presentation of the Europe-Azerbaijan Information Center will be
held within the framework of the sitting and an initiative group of
Europe-Azerbaijan women's organizations will be established.
The two day sitting of the Azerbaijani and Turkish Diaspora
organizations in European countries will be attended by representatives
of state bodies and parliamentarians from Azerbaijan.
