President of the Azerbaijan Republic Ilham Aliyev on 30 May received
Chairman of the Turkish Ataturk Higher Institution for Culture,
Language and History professor Sadig Kamal Tural and Chairman of the
Ataturk Research Center professor Mehmet Saray.

Head of the Azerbaijan State highly assessed the II International
Symposium on the topic ‘Armenian Claims And Azerbaijan Realities’
held in Baku. Noting that for tens of years the states of Azerbaijan
and Turkey have been facing political and ideological provocations
and groundless claims of the Armenians, President Ilham Aliyev said
only by strengthening of cooperation relations, we could prevent
the Armenian propaganda with centuries-old insidious experience and
malicious enmity against the Turks and assure the world community in
our fair cause. President of Azerbaijan expressed confidence that the
Symposium, by attracting the Armenian-Turkish relations to objective
researches would make weighty contributions to opening of the true
essence of these relations, at the same time, reach a turning point
in bringing towards the world community the scientific-historical
reality on the so-called Armenia-Azerbaijan, Nagorno Karabakh conflict,
and the “Armenian genocide”.

Underlining necessity of similar actions in wider space, President
Ilham Aliyev said he always paid great attention to these matters
during his activity in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of
Europe and in further international arrangements, what he does at
the present. Head of the Azerbaijan State reiterated that this is
the fair cause and needs to be propagandized in broader space.

Speaking of creation of the Ataturk Center by the nationwide leader
of Azerbaijan Heydar Aliyev professor Mehmet Saray said the great
leader paid special attention to dissemination and propaganda
of the realities on Azerbaijan and the entire Turkic world on the
international arena. Noting that Ataturk and Heydar Aliyev have huge
contributions before the Turkic world, the guest emphasized necessity
of propaganda of their ideas, and reminded saying by Heydar Aliyev
“one nation, two states” which brings closer the two countries.
Mehmet Saray said currently President Ilham Aliyev successfully
continues this policy, makes tremendous efforts during his foreign
visits to bring the truth on Azerbaijan and Turkic world to the world
community, which arouse deep interest in the Turkic countries.

Professor Sadig Kamal Tural stressed high activity of the Ataturk
Center in Baku created on initiative of the great leader Heydar
Aliyev, and with pleasure noted its contributions to the Turkish
speaking nations. He said Heydar Aliyev paid constant attention to
strengthening of links with the Ataturk Research Center and other
structures, positive results of which are available in relations of the
fraternal countries. He expressed gratitude to President Ilham Aliyev
for nice conditions created to widen the links in this direction.
