Aktau to become cultural capital of Turkic world in 2025

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.
