BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 17. Through joint
efforts, we must ensure that the OTS plays an even greater role in
international affairs, in matters related to international
security, international trade, energy security and transport
connectivity. All of this is in our hands, President Ilham Aliyev
said as he received security officials of OTS member states.


"Everything that is important for the world today is unfolding
across our region," the head of state emphasized, adding that
maximum use should be made of this potential to raise the
organization's standing and its ability to influence international
processes, and to exert influence through the prism of
international law – safeguarding the primacy of international law
and preventing situations where international law remains violated
for many years.


To note, on September 17, President of the Republic of
Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev received Secretary General of the
Organization of Turkic States (OTS) Kubanychbek Omuraliev,
Secretary General of the National Security Council of the Republic

of the Security Council of the Kyrgyz Republic Adilet Orozbekov,
