BulgariaAK Party's Kürşad Zorlu: Organization of Turkic States is our most important vision project
A programme titled “Turkic States and TİKA on the 35th Anniversary of Their Independence” was held in Ankara by the Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TİKA). Participants included Deputy Minister of Culture and Tourism Serdar Çam, AK Party Deputy Chairman and head of Turkic States relations Kürşad Zorlu, MHP Deputy Chairman İlyas Topsakal, TİKA President Abdullah Eren, and the ambassadors of Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan to Ankara.
Zorlu said Türkiye was the first state to recognise the independence of these countries in 1991, and that TİKA was established in the same period. He noted that the combined gross domestic product of Turkic states rose from $1.4 trillion in 2021 to $2.5 trillion by the end of 2025, and called the Organization of Turkic States “our most important vision project.”
TİKA President Eren said the rotating chairmanship of the Organization of Turkic States will pass to Türkiye after the Leaders' Summit. He also said a museum for the Tonyukuk Inscriptions has been completed and will open to visitors.
