Organization of Turkic States and The Opportunities Created by the Nagorno-Karabakh Victory

Along with Turkey, there are languages of Azerbaijan in the South Caucasus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan in Central Asia that comes from the same Ural-Altaic language family and these languages are all related to each other. Together with this language union, the process of Cooperation Summits of Turkic-Speaking Countries was started in 1992 in order to ensure cultural unity and decipher economic and political problems, in particular, by coming together. This process was transformed into the Turkic Council in 2009 and the foundation of organizational integration was laid. However, the expectation in the relations between these states is not just a common language or historical or cultural integration, but a common political and economic dec. At this point, a full organizational integration could only happen with the Organization of Turkic States in 2021. The most important development affecting the process leading to the organizational integration in question is the Second Nagorno-Karabakh War. The conclusion of this war in favor of Azerbaijan, together with the Organization of Turkic States, has opened the door to a major step towards Turkic integration. Even though the subject of this study is the Organization of Turkic States also the main purpose of the study is how the Second Nagorno-Karabakh War affected this organizational integration.
