The ATUC delegation is taking part in the Congress in Turkey

10 Oct 2020

The 14th Congress of the Turkish Hotel and Restaurant Workers' Trade Union-Toleyis kicked off in Istanbul on October 10.

Along with Turkey, delegations from Azerbaijan and Albania are taking part in the event entitled "Trade Union is the rising star of the struggle Toleis".
Our country was represented at the congress by a delegation led by the chairman of the Azerbaijan Trade Unions Confederation, MP Sattar Mohbaliyev.
Speaking at the congress, Mohbaliyev stressed that brotherly Turkey stands by Azerbaijan in the recent confrontation on the Armenian-Azerbaijani contact line as a result of provocations by Armenia. “I also thank the Turkish Trade Union in this regard. I am grateful to everyone who spoke about Nagorno-Karabakh and provided fraternal support at this event. I am convinced that there can be no one in Turkey who does not follow the news every day, the latest developments in the conflict zone, and rejoice in the successes and progress of the mighty Azerbaijani Army. The Turkish people, as usual, still support Azerbaijan. We all know that Armenia has been pursuing a policy of occupation of Azerbaijani lands since 1988. For almost 30 years, 20 percent of Azerbaijan's land, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts, has been under Armenian occupation. The Azerbaijani state has taken many measures to end this occupation. Tens of thousands of people were killed and tens of thousands were disabled. Nevertheless, many countries supported the aggressor Armenia. In the face of all this, the path of negotiations initiated by the national leader of the Azerbaijani people Heydar Aliyev to resolve the issue peacefully is being continued today by the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev. However, the occupying Armenian side still does not give up its provocative actions. In the face of this, the events of recent days have once again demonstrated to the world the strength and power of the Azerbaijani Army, the will of the President and people of Azerbaijan.
Speaking at the event, the head of Toleis, Cemail Bakindi, and others expressed their support for brotherly Azerbaijan.
Representatives of the congress addressed an appeal to President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Supreme Commander-in-Chief Ilham Aliyev.
The event will last for two days.
