Kazakhstan TV seeks to expand cooperation with Azerbaijani broadcasters

Kazakhstan TV is interested in expanding cooperation with Azerbaijani television channels, including through joint media projects and content exchange, Erkin Mukhamedzhanov, deputy chairman of the broadcaster's board, told Report's correspondent in Tashkent.

Mukhamedzhanov said the channel maintains close ties with media organizations across the Turkic world, including Azerbaijan.

"We are interested in this and are ready for close cooperation with our Azerbaijani brothers, with the television networks of brotherly nations," Mukhamedzhanov said on the sidelines of the International Media Forum in Tashkent.

He noted that Kazakhstan TV and Azerbaijan's state television broadcaster already have a memorandum of cooperation in place.

Mukhamedzhanov also said a documentary produced by Kazakhstan TV about the cultural heritage of Turkic peoples could be broadcast in Azerbaijan after its initial release.

"It is only a matter of time. First, we will present the film to our audience and assess its reaction," he said.

Commenting on the idea of creating a common television channel for the Turkic world, Mukhametzhanov noted that the proposal has been discussed for many years.

"We will be able to support each other through content exchange, provide filming locations and offer the necessary assistance," he said.

Mukhametzhanov emphasized that the Kazakhstan TV documentary project aims to highlight the shared cultural ties of Turkic peoples.

"Through this project, we want to once again demonstrate that we are united not only by history and language, but also by close cultural ties," he added.
