The Mazhilis, the Lower House of the Kazakh Parliament, has
ratified amendments to the Nakhchivan Agreement. According to it, the
Cooperation Council of Turkic Speaking States will be transformed into a
full-fledged international organization - the Organization of Turkic States
(OTS). The document was signed in 2022 in Samarkand by the Presidents of
Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Türkiye, and Uzbekistan. The new
agreement expands opportunities for cooperation and integration among the
member countries. The OTS aims to preserve history and culture, promote shared
spiritual values, and strengthen cooperation among peoples.
«Additionally, within the framework of the organization,
strengthening political and economic integration among Turkic countries, along
with expanding cooperation in education and science, is a key priority. These
changes will mark a new era in the development of the Turkic world,
significantly enhancing multifaceted cooperation and fostering closer ties
among the brotherly nations,» said Kazakh Deputy Foreign Minister Alibek
Bakayev.
