The Exhibition of the Turkic World took place at
the United Nations Headquarters in Geneva. It showcased cultural
artifacts, handicrafts, photographs, and paintings by renowned artists from
Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, and Turkey. The
exhibition, demonstrating the rich and diverse cultural heritage of Turkic
civilizations and their historical contributions, was held as part of the Turkic
Week. The event brought together representatives of the diplomatic corps and
international organizations. It bears noting that the cultural program included
conferences, photo exhibitions, and a concert featuring artistic ensembles from
the Turkic world.
“The decision to launch the
Turkic Week program was made last year following discussions with member
countries of the Organization of Turkic States (OTS) at the UN Office in
Geneva. The instruction to organize the event was given by the Heads of State of
the OTS countries during a summit in Astana last November. The Turkic Week
program serves to reinforce this vision, fostering greater cohesion and mutual
understanding among member states. We will be having more Turkic Weeks in
different cities of the world in the future,” said Kubanychbek Omuraliev,
Secretary General of the Organization of Turkic States.
