“Azerbaijan is expected to host the second meeting of the Council of Ministers of Justice of the Organization of Turkic States (OTS),” said Kubanychbek Omuraliev, Secretary General of the OTS, as he addressed the 3rd Meeting of the Presidents of the Councils of Judges of the Organization of Turkic States.

Highlighting the breadth of collaboration within the organization, Secretary General Omuraliev noted that the OTS and its observer states are currently engaged in effective cooperation across more than 35 areas. “One of these important areas is law enforcement and the judicial system,” he said.

He recalled that during last month’s informal meeting of the OTS held in Budapest, the heads of state called on member countries to continue joint efforts in addressing challenges to peace and security, both within the region and beyond. “These issues remain central to the agenda of legal cooperation. Since the establishment of our organization, steady progress has been made in the field of judicial authority,” Omuraliev added.
