TURKISTAN, Kazakhstan
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said on May 15 that growing regional crises have underscored the strategic importance of solidarity among Turkic nations, as he attended a summit of the Organization of Turkic States (OTS) in Kazakhstan.
“We must strengthen our consultation mechanisms and coordination in the face of geopolitical challenges... The increasing contacts between us and our ministers confirm that Turkic states have now acquired high-level reflexes in the face of common issues,” Erdoğan said at the summit in the city of Turkistan.
The president said crises in neighboring regions had “once again demonstrated the strategic value of solidarity within the Turkic world.”
