    Weary of Armenian genocide resolutions adopted by a number of
    parliaments abroad, Turkey has been seeking ways to create its own
    Diaspora together with northern Cyprus and Azerbaijan.

    More than 5 million Turkish citizens live in 118 countries in the
    world but they do not have any political influence. In the Azerbaijani
    capital of Baku, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip ErdoÄ?an said on
    Friday he expected Turkish and Azeri citizens living in the United
    States, Europe, Australia, the Middle East and other parts of the
    world to benefit from each other's powers, reports the Turkish Daily
    News.

    `All of us from politicians, academics, artists, capital owners, media
    groups to all businessmen bear important responsibilities. We'll stand
    shoulder to shoulder, act in solidarity and carry the entire Turkic
    world to a bright future,' he was quoted as saying at the opening of
    the First Forum of the World Azeri and Turkish Diaspora Organizations.
    Turkish Cypriot President Mehmet Ali Talat also participated in the
    forum.
