TO REACH COHESION OF WORLD AZERBAIJANIS
State Committee on work with Azerbaijanis living abroad could realize great work in this field under the direction of President Heydar Aliyev…
It was stated at the news conference on 30 December, by head of the Committee Nazim Ibrahimov. He noted that after the Congress of World Azerbaijanis in Baku with the participation of representatives of the Diaspora organizations in the city of Mins of Germany and Izmir of Turkey were held two large arrangements. Today, in Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and other countries of Central Asia, Europe, Canada and the United States there are strong Diaspora organizations. Nevertheless, there has not been reached complete cohesion. Passing of President Heydar Aliyev has deeply saddened the compatriots residing abroad. But assumption of power in Azerbaijan by Ilham Aliyev, worthy successor of the ideas of Heydar Aliyev, on the will and desire of the nation instills a great confidence and decisiveness in them. Therefore, it is with great confidence that in the recent future we shall be able to unite Azerbaijanis of the world for the name of Azerbaijan, Mr. Ibrahimov said.
On 30-31 January 2004, the Assembly of the American-Turkish Associations will be held in the United States. The second day of this Congress to attend by high-ranking officials of Turkey, Azerbaijan and US, will be devoted to Azerbaijan.
