World
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan received Organization of Turkic States (OTS) Secretary General and Ambassador Kubanychbek Omuraliev in Ankara on 22 October 2026. The main focus was preparations for the organization’s 13th summit, scheduled for 30 October under the theme “Turkic Century: Unity in Language, Thought and Action.”
During the meeting, the two sides reviewed preparations for the summit, Türkiye’s forthcoming assumption of the OTS chairmanship, and priority areas for further cooperation and integration among Turkic states.
Omuraliev expressed his sincere gratitude to Erdoğan for Türkiye’s consistent support for the organization. He also acknowledged Türkiye’s leading role in strengthening solidarity, cohesion and cooperation among countries of the Turkic world.
The meeting provided an opportunity to review the OTS’s achievements in recent years and exchange views on the organization’s future priorities. The upcoming summit in Ankara will mark the beginning of Türkiye’s chairmanship and help define the next areas of joint work.
The approaching end of Omuraliev’s four-year term was also addressed. The Secretary General thanked the Turkish president for the substantial support Erdoğan had personally extended to him and the OTS Secretariat throughout his tenure.
Omuraliev expressed confidence that the Ankara summit would open a new chapter in the organization’s continued development and further strengthen ties among the brotherly Turkic states.
The forthcoming summit is therefore expected to mark an important stage in sustaining integration and expanding cooperation across the Turkic world.
