AZERTAC reports that this was stated in President Ilham Aliyev's address to the participants of the Turkic World Week dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the First Turkological Congress.

"The fact that the Turkic World Week coincides with the 100th anniversary of the First Turkological Congress during Azerbaijan's chairmanship of the Organization of Turkic States has a special symbolic meaning.

The First Turkological Congress, which brought together prominent figures of world Turkology and famous research scientists a hundred years ago in the magnificent Ismailiyya Palace, one of the architectural gems of our capital, is of exceptional importance in terms of the ideological formation of the cultural integration of the Turkic peoples with a rich past and ancient heritage in the current conditions," the address also noted.
