The 27th plenary meeting of the Conference of the Special Service Agencies of the Turkic States on the theme 'The Role of Special Service Agencies in Ensuring the Security of International Transport Lines' was held in Khankendi city on 14 November.

The event was attended by Chief of the State Security Service (SSS) of Azerbaijan, Colonel-General Ali Naghiyev, Chief of the Foreign Intelligence Service, Colonel-General Orkhan Sultanov, the heads of the relevant services of Türkiye, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan, as well as a representative from Hungary as an honorary guest.

Chief of the SSS, Colonel-General Ali Naghiyev delivered an extensive speech on the topic of the plenary meeting after reading the address to the participants by President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev.

Ali Naghiyev noted that today’s global threats also affect key transport and communication routes, and since Turkic states lie on major transit networks, it is essential for them to strengthen cooperation. 

He also spoke in detail about the role played by special services in ensuring the safe operation of international transport and communication lines, protecting them from international terrorism, transnational organised crime. 

It was emphasised that some destructive circles in every possible way are trying to obstruct the implementation of the Zangezur corridor, which is an important component of the Middle Corridor stretching from the Far East to Europe. 

This makes ensuring reliable security in that direction a priority task.
