Ilham Aliyev was awarded Ataturk Premium by Marmara University of Turkey

The director of the socio-political department of the President’s Apparatus Ali Hasanov confirmed the information, however, A.Hasanov also told APA that the date of presentation of the premium to Ilham Aliyev had not been determined precisely yet.

"Because the working schedule of the president is very busy at present, we held talks with the administration of the university and cancelled the ceremony of presentation of the premium. The premium will be presented to the president during his forthcoming visits to Turkey," said Hasanov.

The Consul General of Azerbaijan in Istanbul Ibrahim Nabioghlu in his interview noted that he does not know an exact date of the next visit of the President to Turkey.

It should be noted that it is expected that during the visit to Turkey late in November Ilham Aliyev will participate in the opening ceremony of the monument to Heydar Aliyev erected at Kirechburnu, Istambul and a park named after Heydar Aliyev.
