I believe that the International Turkic World Symposium will lead scientific research in a wide range from language and literature to history, from art to social, from economy to international relations.

As throughout history, we should not allow the borders drawn between us to separate us, to put a distance between our hearts, and to tear us apart from each other.

From this point of view, I consider it extremely meaningful that the symposium is held in this year, which coincides with the 31st anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations with our native brothers, Turkic-speaking countries. After many years of longing, as the Turkic world, we have successfully raised our relations on bilateral and multilateral platforms to the highest levels. At the Summit of the Organization of Turkic States held in Istanbul last year, we signed historic decisions to deepen our brotherhood and relations. We transformed the Turkic Council into the Organization of Turkic States and adopted the 2040 vision document.

The unity and solidarity of the Turkic world is the guarantee of our peace and prosperity. The project and actions we will implement in the coming period will create new opportunities to further strengthen our family, which covers a wide geography and more than 300 million people.
