Baku/13.11.21/Turan: During the 8th summit in Istanbul, the Cooperation Council of Turkic-speaking states was renamed the Organization of Turkic States.
"We decided to rename our council. From now on, it is called the Organization of Turkic States. Thanks to the new name and structure, the organization will develop and strengthen more actively," Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in a final statement.
The activities of the Organization of Turkic States should not bother other countries. "The Turkic countries have remained the center of culture and civilization for millennia. I am sure that this will continue to be so. The organization of Turkic states should not bother anyone. On the contrary, we must strive to become part of this ascending structure based on historical community. This organization is a platform for the development of interstate ties," he said.
Members of the Organization of Turkic States today are: Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkey and Uzbekistan, as observers - Hungary and Turkmenistan. Erdogan spoke in favor of admission to the Organization of the Republic of Northern Cyprus.
The President of Uzbekistan proposed to create a Center for Research on Trade Cooperation of Turkic States, which will develop proposals for eliminating trade barriers, introducing e-commerce and increasing the volume of exports and imports.
He also outlined another priority area of cooperation - the development of transport and transit, the creation of new transcontinental corridors from China to Europe, which will have to pass through the territories of the Turkic-speaking countries.
As a result of the work of the leaders of the Turkic countries, a final document was adopted, which, in particular, refers to the adopted concept "Vision of the Turkic World - 2040". It is a strategic document "defining future cooperation in various areas of common interest in the Turkic world."
In addition, the leaders issued an appeal for emergency humanitarian aid to Afghanistan.
The parties also agreed to donate 2.5 million doses of coronavirus vaccines to African countries. Ankara will allocate two million doses, the remaining 500 thousand - Azerbaijan, Hungary and Kazakhstan.
The leaders also called for "strengthening active cooperation of member states in international forums." - 02D-
