Iraqi MP: Common history, heritage and folklore unite Turkic peoples

Today, what binds Turkic peoples together is common history, Arshad al-Salihi, Iraqi MP from Kirkuk and leader of the Iraqi Turkmen Front, stated at the 2nd forum titled "Turkmen Heritage: Solidarity of Civil Societies" organized by the Bridge Turkmen Heritage Research Center Public Union in partnership with Azerbaijan's NGO Agency.

Al-Salihi noted that the liberation of Karabakh and Azerbaijan's proud standing was the aspiration of Turkic peoples worldwide.

He emphasized that beyond diplomatic ties among parliamentarians from different countries, it is shared heritage, folklore, and history that bring nations closer together.
