Azerbaijan, Turkey sign protocol on social security cooperation

Turkey's Minister of Labor and Social Security Omer Dincer and Azerbaijan's Minister of Labor and Social Protection of Population Fuzuli Alakbarov have signed a protocol of cooperation in Ankara. Speaking to the signing ceremony, Alakbarov said the document would contribute to boosting social security cooperation between the two countries.

“Strengthening the population's social security is among key priorities in the policy of Azerbaijan`s President Ilham Aliyev.”

“Turkey has rich experience in this regard, and we want to benefit from it. Our ministries have been cooperating since 1998, and now we`re about to embark on new programs and projects,” Alakbarov noted.

Dincer praised “all-round cooperation” between Azerbaijan and Turkey, saying it was “rapidly deepening and strengthening”.

“And the protocol we've signed today is another important step towards strengthening our cooperation. A joint commission between our ministries has been convening every year. And this year we`ve thoroughly explored legal aspects of our cooperation.”

“This protocol includes implementing joint projects in the fields of migration, labor protection and exchange of experience and personnel,” the Turkish minister added.
