The TURKPA secretary general informed members of the Permanent Council on TURKPA’s latest activities, its future tasks and objectives as well as emphasized that TURKPA intends to maintain close dialogue with the OSCE and its institutions, focusing on the issues of mutual interest. The speaker also said that as a parliamentary dimension of Turkic cooperation, the Assembly shares with the OSCE the same goals and principles aimed at ensuring stability and sustainable development in the member-countries.

In his address to the OSCE Permanent Council Mr. Asanov also talked about TURKPA’S moral support to the First European Games held in recently in Baku. He said the following: “It was a grand and beautiful sportive event of a global scale and it helped further consolidate friendship and interaction among the sports communities in Europe. The Games brought together more than 6000 European athletes and competitions were held at the newly built state-of-the-art sports venues. The guests also had the opportunity to have a look at the rich cultural and historic legacy of the host country. It is very pleasing that one of the founding members of the TURKPA and an active participating state of the OSCE could cope with such an enormous task and noble undertaking within a short span of time”.
