"In recent years the cooperation of the Turkic countries has demonstrated its viability and led to the emergence of a united Turkic World as a new geopolitical reality. Inspired by historical brotherhood ties, common language, culture, and traditions, this phenomenon has produced significant political and economic results in the vast Eurasian continent," Bagdad Amreyev, Secretary General of the Organization of Turkic States (OTS) stated in his article "Towards a Stronger, Better Integrated and United Turkic World" published in UZA (National News Agency of Uzbekistan), APA reports.

"Five Turkish countries restored their independence. Immediately afterward, Turkic nations started to work on redefining a new system of relations among themselves. This was a great historical moment and a natural outcome produced by the choice of Turkic people, who did not want any more barriers and dividing lines between them which existed for centuries.

Nowadays, Turkic countries are making great strides to support Turkic cooperation, which is developing in its own way and is on the rise in scale and scope. For example, in 2018, the number of countries participating in the Turkic cooperation process was four. Today, this number has increased to seven countries. On the other hand, 6 Summits of Heads of State were convened in the last four years, compared to only five Summits held in the 2009-2017 period

The last Summit of Heads of State held in 2021 in Istanbul became a historical turning point for the unity of the Turkic World.

This outstanding result of the Turkic cooperation has not easily been achieved. Today’s fraternal and respectful relations between Turkic countries had to be built step by step through clear political choices, a decisive stance of leaders of Turkic states, and their courage to think ahead," he said.
