The protection of the common cultural heritage of Turkic peoples, and the prevention of its appropriation and distortion, must be one of the leading directions of our joint activity.
“Elchi” reports that this was stated by President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev in his address to the participants of the 2nd Meeting of the Heads of Intellectual Property Institutions of the Turkic States Organization.
The head of state noted that the foundations of intellectual property rights in Azerbaijan were laid on the initiative of National Leader Heydar Aliyev and were further improved in the subsequent years.
