 An Azerbaijani politician is
urging Mongolia, along with other area countries, to join together in
the creation of a Turkic-speaking union, similar to the European Union.
“ Europe can establish its
own union, its own non-visa zone, but why can’t the Turkic speaking
countries?” Azerbaijani independent politician, Vefa Guluzadeh, asked
while commenting on Turkey’s recent decision to drop certain visa
restrictions among Asian tourists.
Guluzadeh made his comments
during an interview with the Trend News Agency of Azerbaijan.
The Turkic speaking countries
include Mongolia, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan.
Guluzadeh speculated that the
move by Turkey to drop visa restrictions will allow them to become a
leading player in regional politics.
“It is obvious that Turkey
will not be admitted into the EU. That was a game. Turkey understands
that very well. Therefore, for Turkey to establish a Turkic-speaking
union in Central Asia and Caucasus, I feel this may be the correct way
and it should be taken,” Guluzadeh noted.
