Baku. Ramil Mammadli â€“ APA. The Center for Strategic Studies (SAM) hosts a round table entitled â€œAzerbaijani and Turkish policy: parallels and differencesâ€.

According to APA, members of the Turkey-based Caspian Strategic Institute Center also attended the event. They exchanged views and discussed a wide range of questions concerning parallels and differences in the Turkish and Azerbaijani interests on the back of processes in the Middle East and South Caucasus.
