The International Organization of Turkic Culture[a] or TÜRKSOY is an international cultural organization of countries with Turkic populations, speaking languages belonging to the Turkic language family.

The General Secretary of Türksoy is Sultan Raev, the former Minister of Culture of Kyrgyzstan and deputy General Secretary of Organization of Turkic States. Türksoy has its headquarters in Ankara, Turkey.

Name

[edit]

TÜRKSOY was initially established as the Common Administration of Turkic Culture and Arts (Turkish: Türk Kültür ve Sanatları Ortak Yönetimi), and was later on renamed as International Organization of Turkic Culture. Its acronym nevertheless remained the same.[1]

History

[edit]

The organization has its roots in meetings during 1992 in Baku and Istanbul, where the ministers of culture from Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkey, and Turkmenistan declared their commitment to cooperate in a joint cultural framework. Türksoy was subsequently established by an agreement signed on 12 July 1993 in Almaty.[4]

In 1996, an official cooperation between Türksoy and UNESCO was established, involving mutual consultations and reciprocal representation.[5]

Since its establishment, the Turkic Council has acted as an umbrella organization for Türksoy and a number of related organizations.[6]

Member and observer states

[edit]

As of 2022, Türksoy has six founding and 8 observer members.[2]
