The Establishment of the Organization of Turkic States

 

In the wake of the Soviet Union’s dissolution, Türkiye established close contact and strong relations with the newly-formed Turkic states, becoming the first country to recognize their independence. The Summits of the Heads of Turkic-Speaking States, which started in 1992, embodied their commitment to the spirit of fraternity and cooperation.
