TurkPA intends to get international status

"In the future TurkPA will firstly act as a guest and observer in the international organizations. Then it can obtain a membership," TurkPA Secretary General Ramil Hasanov told the official Web site of the ruling New Azerbaijan Party.

Hasanov said all international organizations will be informed about the establishment of TurkPA and they will study the experience of parliamentary associations of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation and the Commonwealth of Independent States.

In the future, the PA will make efforts to get Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan as well as Turkic speaking autonomous republics involved, Hasanov added.  

The TurkPA General Secretariat will launch its activity on Jan.1, 2010.

TurkPA was established at a plenary session of the Parliamentary Assembly of Turkic-speaking countries held with the participation of parliamentary delegations of Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Turkey on Sept. 28 in Baku.
