BAKU, Azerbaijan, November 4. A common language
is necessary for the strong unity of the Turkic states, Chairman of
the Council of Elders of the Organization of Turkic States (OTS)
Binali Yildirim told media on the sidelines of the 18th meeting of
the OTS Council of Elders in Baku, Trend reports.
He emphasized that one of the key areas of cooperation among
Turkic countries remains the issue of a common alphabet, which will
serve as the foundation for linguistic unity.
“The common alphabet plays an important role in strengthening
cooperation among Turkic states. The outstanding educator of the
Turkic world, Ismail Bey Gasprinsky, said that unity is possible
only through a shared language, labor, and thought,” Yildirim
noted.
According to him, strengthening unity among Turkic countries
will not only open the floodgates for trade and investment but also
pave the way for new job opportunities, which in turn will tighten
the economic bonds and boost the welfare of the OTS member
states.
The Organization of Turkic States (OTS) is an intergovernmental
entity that includes all but one of the internationally recognized
Turkic sovereign nations. The primary objective is to foster
extensive collaboration among the Turkic nations. The General
Secretariat of OTS is situated in Istanbul, Türkiye.
