Turkic state

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Today's states, which are referred to as "Turkic states"

As Turkic states are Turkic-speaking republics of Azerbaijan , Kazakhstan , Kyrgyzstan , Uzbekistan , Turkey and Turkmenistan respectively. The term "Turkic Republics" is also used.

Political development after 1989

After the collapse of the Soviet Union , the Turkish Council was founded in October 1992 as an interest group of the Turkic states at a meeting under the auspices of Turkey in Ankara , with the aim of "promoting economic and humanitarian cooperation among the Turkic states" and "agreeing internationally with one voice speak and to this end in the distant future the alliance of the Turkic states on the model of the European Union ”. Turkey subsequently tried to institutionalize the summit of the presidents of the Turkish-speaking countries (OATCT), but differences between states prevented the planned annual sequence of meetings. The summits that were taking place led to tension with Russia, which feared it would lose influence over the former Soviet republics. Political and economic cooperation was also decided at other levels, such as the "Assembly for Friendship, Fraternity and Cooperation of Turkic States and Societies" held since 1996.

Culture

In 1992, at a meeting of the Ministers of Culture from Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan and Turkey in Baku, a cultural cooperation was agreed. On July 12, 1993, the Joint Administration of Turkic Culture and Art ( TÜRKSOY ) was founded in Almaty, which sees itself as a kind of UNESCO of the region and is dedicated to researching the common history, culture, language and traditions in the Turkic states.
