The Chairman of the State Committee stressed that Turkish communities should be properly directed to bring Azerbaijani truths to the world.

Muradov said that work is underway to unite Azerbaijanis, who carry out cultural activities in Turkey: "We want to further develop cultural ties with Turkey. Since, at present many of our cultural and art figures live in Turkey. They hold a lot of events here. I believe that in accordance with the action plan, programs will be implemented in this direction."
