Azerbaijani and Turkish regional MPs have begun to bolster relations, Secretary General of the Parliamentary Assembly of Turkic Speaking Countries (TurkPA) Ramil Hasanov said.

He said a relevant agreement was signed during Turkish President Abdullah Gul's visit to Azerbaijan. The document first of all involves cooperation between MPs from Sheki and Bursa.
Hasanov said entrepreneurs of these regions also will develop relationships.
"It is important to establish cooperation in the economic, political, cultural and scientific fields. The regions' businessmen, in addition to MPs, will also take part in the meetings," Hasanov said.
The TurkPA's main goal is mutual support of the Turkic-speaking countries in international organizations, as well as exchange of experience in legislative processes. The Assembly was also founded to preserve language, culture and history of the Turkic-speaking countries and to promote political, economic and cultural ties between the organization's member states.
