Baku documentary highlights Turkic states’ support for Karabakh

A screening was held in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, for the documentary film “Türkün Gücü,” produced by the Eurasian International Research Institute. The event was attended by the ambassadors and diplomats of Turkic states in Azerbaijan, as well as members of parliament, representatives of civil society organizations and numerous guests.

The screening began with a minute of silence for the martyrs, followed by the Azerbaijani National Anthem.

The documentary’s subject

Project manager Kemale Pashayeva said the production was prepared as part of a project carried out by the Eurasian International Research Institute, which was chaired by the late parliamentarian Ganire Pashayeva.

Pashayeva said the project’s main aim was to build a bridge among the Turkic world. The documentary portrays the support and solidarity provided by Turkic states to Azerbaijan during Karabakh’s reconstruction and rebuilding after the Second Karabakh War.

Noting that they had shown the unity of the Turkic world before and after the Karabakh War, Pashayeva recalled President Ilham Aliyev’s words: “We have one family, and that is the Turkic world. We have no family other than the Turkic world.”

Emphasis on closer ties within the Turkic world

Parliamentarian Polad Bulbuloglu said the documentary contributed to bringing the Turkic world even closer together. Bulbuloglu said that after the 1992 Baku meeting, which brought together the culture ministers of Turkic states for the first time, a decision was made to hold a new meeting in Türkiye, and that the establishment of TURKSOY was decided after that meeting.

“Kazakhstan’s Ambassador to Baku Alim Bayel said Karabakh was a symbol of the Turkic world’s revival. Bayel said they attached great importance to the region’s reconstruction, adding that they had shown the strength of the Turkic world and that the unity of the Turkic world was one of Ganire Pashayeva’s ideas.

Ambassador Ufuk Turganer, the representative of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus in Baku, also emphasized the importance of such documentary films. Turganer said he believed the strength of the Turkic world would grow further in the period ahead, that Karabakh would always hold a place in their hearts and that they were proud to see the region being rebuilt.
