BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 16. By November 2026, a
number of initiatives are planned to be implemented at both the
operational and institutional levels with the aim of expanding the
scope of activities of the NGO Platform of the OTS Member States,
including the adoption of decisions regarding the legal status and
development strategy of this institution, Secretary-General of the
NGO Platform of the Member States of the Organization of Turkic
States (OTS) and a member of the Azerbaijani Parliament, Azər
Allahveranov said during his address at the 2nd Solidarity Forum of
NGOs from OTS Member States, Trend reports.
The level of cooperation among Turkic states, formed on the
basis of common historical, ethnic, cultural, and spiritual ties,
unites the Turkic world on a single platform, much like a single
family, transforming this region into an influential geopolitical
power in Eurasia in the 21st century.
The Secretary General emphasized that the non-governmental
organizations participating in the current event are making a
significant contribution to the integration of the Turkic world,
which is growing stronger every day:
“Today, the Platform, drawing on our shared history, cultural
ties, and the principles of solidarity, cooperation, and mutual
respect, plays a vital role in developing and deepening social,
humanitarian, and inter-community relations within the Turkic
world, as well as in strengthening unity and solidarity among
NGOs.
The Platform, which has focused its work on building the
capacity of NGOs and facilitating a broad exchange of experience
and knowledge to deepen diplomacy, dialogue, and exchanges among
Turkic peoples, has quickly succeeded in organizing bilateral,
trilateral, and multilateral events.”
“We hope that the joint projects and events planned for the near
future for the NGOs represented on our platform will create
favorable conditions for strengthening solidarity among our peoples
on a solid foundation, while also making a significant contribution
to the integration of the Turkic world,” he concluded.
