The Turkic World represents an ancient history, a great civilization, a strong economic potential, and a strategic geography located between Asia and Europe. Approximately 300 million Turkic people, who share common historical ties, language, culture, and traditions, live in this region. The Organization of Turkic States (OTS), established by the independent Turkic states in this geography, is taking significant and systematic steps towards enhancing cooperation and solidarity among Turkic states and peoples. These steps, which can be referred to as Turkic cooperation, create added value for Member States both strategically and politically. This added value stems from the opportunities it offers, especially for various joint development projects, and from bringing the Member States and their citizens closer together. Politically, Turkic cooperation contributes to addressing the regional and global challenges faced by the Member States in a spirit of collaboration. The OTS serves Member States by developing and harmonizing cooperation capacities in relevant fields, enabling them to make more effective use of this capacity. Additionally, the OTS functions as an overarching framework for establishing good neighborly and friendly relations and strengthening cooperation between states to maintain regional and international peace, security, and stability.
