  • Turkic Cooperation in the Center of Eurasia: the Turkic Council
    TURKIC COOPERATION IN THE CENTER OF EURASIA: THE TURKIC COUNCIL Gülperi GÜNGÖR GÜLPERİ GÜNGÖR Analysis No : 2021 / 6 05.02.2021 The Cooperation Council of Turkic Speaking States (Turkic Council) was established in 2009 as an intergovernmental organization with the Nakhichevan Treaty signed between Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Turkey with the aim of promoting cooperation within a joint structure. The organizations flag contains the elements of the national flags of the founding member states: the eight-pointed star (Azerbaijan), the color blue (Kazakhstan), the sun (Kyrgyzstan), and the crescent (Turkey). The cooperation process between the Turkic-speaking countries started right after the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the establishment of the new Turkic Republics. Turkey was one of the first countries to recognize the newly founded Turkic Republics. In this process, many bilateral and multilateral collaborations have been carried out in political, economic and cultural areas. Established in 1992, the Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TİKA) has played a role in the execution of cooperation mechanisms in the field of development. The foundations of the Turkic Council are based on these collaborations and the summits of the Heads of Turkic Speaking States that have been held since 1992. The main decision-making body of the Turkic Council is the Council of Heads of State. The other bodies are the Council of Foreign Ministers, the Senior Officials Committee (which provides technical information), the Council of Elders, and the secretariat. The organization's secretariat is located in Istanbul. The Secretariat carries out its activities with a secretary general and deputy general secretaries representing each member country, project managers, and experts.

  • Of 39 Annexure II Statement by ECO
    Annexure II Statement by ECO Secretary General 31st RPC Meeting, January 21, 2021 His Excellency Ibrahim Senel, the Head of Delegation of Turkey, Distinguishes Participants Ladies and gentlemen, I am privileged, indeed, to welcome you at this 31st Session of the ECO Regional Planning Council. Thank you all for making it convenient to participate in this mega ECO event which is convened every year to review the past activities of the organization, as well as consider and evolve some fresh programs and projects to be executed from ECO’s platform for continuing the developmental process in our region. As you are kindly aware, the post-30th RPC period witnessed a persistent global and regional crisis due to the outbreak of COVID-19. The ongoing pandemic, that yet to meet an end, continues to affect the routine public and private as well as international and regional affairs. The COVID crunch, like most parts of the world, has not spared our region, hampering regular developmental activities which were perceived to be made in consideration of the ECO Work Program and Calendar of Events for 2020 endorsed by the 30th Meeting of RPC. It is relevant to mention here that the domestic containment measures and global disruption to connectivity, trade, tourism and production have required our region to prepare for the prospects of an economic slowdown. As of other regions, the public infrastructure in the ECO region was neither built nor prepared to counter such kind of a sudden situation. Though the pandemic bears hardship and difficulties, it also appeared to give some learning lessons.

Today, international conflicts are a threatening problem of international security. The problem is aggravated by the fact that these conflicts are intractable and their roots lie very deep. They last a very long time since the conflicting countries do not seek a truce. It is important to note that most of these conflicts are within the OIC. Therefore, the resolution of these conflicts has become a key issue that remains at the top of the organization’s agenda. The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) is the second largest intergovernmental organization after the United Nations, which includes 57 states. The organization is the collective voice of the Muslim world. It seeks to protect the interests of the Muslim world in the spirit of promoting international peace and harmony among the various peoples of the world. The organization was created by decision of the historic summit, which was held in Rabat, Kingdom of Morocco, on the 12th Rajab of 1389 (September 25, 1969) after the arson attack on the Al-Aqsa mosque in occupied Jerusalem. One of the important point in the history of the organizations is the renaming of the «Organization of the Islamic Conferences» into the «Organization of the Islamic Cooperation» in the 38th session of the CFM, which was held in Astana, Kazakhstan in June 2011.
