The Parliamentary Assembly of Turkic-speaking countries (TurkPA) will play an important role in shaping, strengthening and developing the unity of all the Turkic states, as well as in solving common problems, said the speaker of the Azerbaijani parliament.
“Today we speak different languages. However, I believe that the time will come we will speak the same language, and will not need interpreters,” the Speaker of the Azerbaijani Parliament Oqtay Asadov said at the TurkPA the first summit held in Baku on Sept. 28.
The Parliament of Azerbaijan hosted the first summit of the Parliamentary Assembly of Turkic-speaking countries.
