In a speech at a two-day conference on Turkic friendship and solidarity held in Antalya, Turkey, Ilham Aliyev called on September 18 for Azeri and Turkish groups living outside of their countries to mobilize and consolidate, Turan and ANS-TV reported. Referring to the seizure of several districts of Azerbaijan by Armenian forces at the end of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Aliyev vowed that \"Azerbaijan will not allow its territory to be turned into a second Armenian state\" and warned that \"we will mobilize all of our forces: political, diplomatic, economic, and military, and we will liberate our land.\" Aliyev further called on the Azeri and Turkish diaspora organizations to consolidate to oppose \"Armenian propaganda\" regarding Azerbaijan and Turkey and welcomed plans to convene a joint forum of Azeri and Turkish diaspora organizations in Azerbaijan next year.Visit also
