During the discussion of the issues on the agenda, the participants drew attention to the importance of expanding the sphere of competence of the International Turkish Academy at the expense of natural and technical sciences.
Shahin Mustafayev stressed that, the International Turkish Academy, which is one of the Turkish cooperation organizations, should create common platforms and mechanisms for the development of scientific cooperation between the Turkish states as an international organization and scientific coordination center.
In this context, it was proposed to re-evaluate the potential of the Union of National Academies of Sciences of the Turkish World, established under the International Turkish Academy in 2015, as a platform.
