An international conference has been held in Ankara on the role of
the Turkic world's NGOs and Diaspora organizations in resolution of
the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
The event was co-organized by the Turkish Centre for International
Relations and Strategic Analysis (TURKSAM) and Cooperation Centre of
Azerbaijanis and other Turkish language peoples with support of the
Council of State Support to NGOs under the Azerbaijan President.
The conference brought together parliamentarians, representatives of
the Turkish and Azerbaijani governments and NGOs.
Opening the event, director of TURKSAM Sinan Ogan said today the
Turkic world faces serious challenges, and concrete steps should be
taken to solve them.
He noted NGOs must react quickly to media reports and parliamentary
decisions on the Nagorno-Karabakh, Cyprus, Karkuk and other problems.
"Why we should not make a documentary on the Khojaly genocide which
was committed in our modern history, while Armenians shot a film
narrating on the events which happened 100 years ago?" "NGOs and
Diaspora organizations must be active in this issue," he added.
Ilham Ismayilov, head of the Cooperation Centre of Azerbaijanis and
other Turkish language peoples spoke of President Ilham Aliyev's
efforts towards peaceful settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict.
He underlined because of the non-constructive position of Armenia
and its patronages, the conflict still remains unresolved.
"We have a powerful state and army, and the Azerbaijani people are
capable of liberating their territories which are under Armenian
occupation."
Member of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey Senol Bal called on
his Turkish and Azerbaijani counterparts and NGOs to increase their
efforts to inform the world community about the Nagorno Karabakh
conflict and fight the so-called Armenian genocide propaganda.
He also drew the attention to the resolution adopted recently by the
European Union which urges Armenia to leave the occupied territories
of Azerbaijan.
