Turkish can be accepted as a common language of the Turkic
world, ," the chairman of the committee on culture of Milli Majlis of Azerbaijan,
Nizami Jafarov, said today at the conference "Cultural integration of the
Turkic world: common Turkic alphabet and language", reports Trend.
"The Turkish language already has the function of a common language - more
than 100 million people speak Turkish," said Jafarov.
He said the existence of a Turkic language does not imply
that any of the Turkic-speaking people would lose the wealth of their
own language. "This is a common means of communication to the Turkic
peoples to interact with each other not using any other foreign but
the Turkic language," said Jafarov. According to him, the issue of
Turkic language for many years was discussed at the Congress of Turkic
peoples.
"The unity of the Turkic world is created not for any military
cooperation, not against someone, but in order to promote peace in the
region" said Turkish Ambassador to Azerbaijan Hulusi Kilic. Creating
a common language and alphabet of the Turkic peoples has long been a
historical necessity, said at the event the Deputy Sevinj Huseynova.
