BAKU - Turkish Parliament Speaker Bulent Arinc has arrived in Baku yesterday (Sunday) for a three day visit upon an invitation from the Azeri Parliament's Speaker Murtuz Aleskerov.
''Our visit to the brotherly country Azerbaijan is very important,'' said Arinc.
Arinc and his delegation attended a reception last night hosted by Turkey's ambassador to Azerbaijan Turan Morali.
Arinc began his meetings in Baku by visiting the Azerbaijani-Turkish Industrialists and Businessmen Association (TUSIAB).
TUSIAB Chairman Hamit Bozkurt gave information to Arinc on the activities of Turkish businessmen in Azerbaijan. ''The Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway project must be realized as soon as possible,'' said Bozkurt.
Bozkurt added that the TUSIAB provides employment to over 10,000 individuals in Azerbaijan.
