The OTS, established to promote unity among Turkic nations, includes Türkiye, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan as full members, with Hungary, Turkmenistan, and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus as observer states. The summit underscores the growing importance of political, economic, cultural, and security coordination in the Turkic world amid evolving global dynamics. (ILKHA)
