The city of Aktau will become the
cultural capital of the Turkic world in 2025. The decision was taken during the
40th meeting of the Permanent Council of Ministers of
Culture of TURKSOY member states in Shusha city, Azerbaijan. As noted
in Kazakhstan’s representative office of the international organization, this
is a significant step in strengthening cultural ties between the Turkic states.
In the coming year, the member states are set to hold various events on the
Caspian coast, which will also boost the tourism potential of the region. It is
worth reminding that earlier two cities were the cultural capitals of the
Turkic world in Kazakhstan, Astana in 2012 and Turkistan in 2017.
