BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 10.
Turkish-Azerbaijani media platforms are becoming a global
information network, Deputy Director General of Trend International
News Agency and Deputy Chairman of the Baku Network Research Center
Sahil Karimli said at a panel on "The future of the Caucasus and
the Middle Corridor: economy, transport, and energy" held in
Ankara, Türkiye, Trend reports.


Karimli noted that only Türkiye and Azerbaijan are making
efforts for the sake of security, prosperity, and peace in the
region.


"We rely on Türkiye's support and brotherhood in the process of
normalizing relations in the region, including resolving the issue
with Armenia. Normalization in the South Caucasus, particularly
ensuring peace and mutual understanding between Armenia and
Azerbaijan, is crucial. These processes are of great importance for
both regional security and economic development.


The Türkiye-Azerbaijan strategic partnership holds a significant
place in regional politics. The strong political, economic, and
cultural cooperation between the two countries has a serious impact
on the normalization process in the South Caucasus. We must
continue close cooperation with Türkiye in solving these issues,"
he explained.


The deputy director-general emphasized that collaborative
efforts are also in the works between the two countries across the
political, economic, social, and media landscapes.


"Trend International News Agency created a media platform years
ago in collaboration with the Demirören News Agency (DHA) operating
in Türkiye. As a result of the Trend-DHA partnership, the website
dhapress.com was launched. We also have a joint media platform with
Albayrak Holding in Türkiye. These media entities were created
based on the guiding recommendations of our heads of state long
ago. Azerbaijan news is published on Turkish media platforms, and
Turkish news is published on Azerbaijani news portals," Karimli
explained.


The spokesperson for Baku Network articulated that Trend and DHA
have synergistically engineered a compelling collaborative
initiative.







"A new platform has been created based on modern information
technologies and incorporating the necessary model of cooperation
for today. The joint media project is Dhapress.com multimedia
stock. We have already included other countries, even
non-Turkish-speaking countries, in this project.


The influential Chinese Xinhua Agency has also agreed to join
this project. We have also invited all our colleagues from Turkic
countries to join the platform. A multimedia archive has been
formed here. In an era where disinformation is widespread, the
existence of such a platform is of great importance. This
cooperation model, based on modern technologies and meeting the
demands of today, is already spreading internationally," he
concluded.


To note, a panel on the topic "The future of the Caucasus and
the Middle Corridor: economy, transport, and energy" was held with
the organization of the Gazi University Turkish World Application
and Research Center, in cooperation with the Azerbaijan Center for
Analysis of International Relations and the Turkish Policy and
