Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkey and Uzbekistan celebrate Turkic states cooperation day

On October 3, 15 years ago, the Agreement on the Establishment of the Cooperation Council of Turkic-Speaking States was signed in the city of Nakhchivan, which later evolved into the Organization of Turkic States (OTS).

The Organization of Turkic States currently comprising Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkey, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan, with Hungary and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus as observers, was founded in 2009 to foster comprehensive cooperation among Turkic-speaking nations.

In a relatively short period, the OTS has established itself as a full-fledged and respected actor in international relations, committed to contributing to the strengthening of peace and sustainable development.

Turkic integration encompasses a broad spectrum of cooperation, ranging from transit and transport issues, economy, ecology, science, education, arts, tourism, and sports to a substantial humanitarian agenda.

Kazakhstan is both a founding member and initiator of the OTS, actively promoting integration within its framework.

This is reflected in Kazakhstan’s chairmanship program for this year, adopted under the motto “TURKTIME!” which outlines eight priorities aimed at strengthening unity and cooperation among Turkic countries.
