The 13th summit of the Organization of Turkic States is being held in Ankara under the theme "The Turkish Century: Unity in Language, Thought and Dede". The meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers was held today. The foreign ministers prepared the agenda and assigned documents to the meeting of the heads of state, scheduled for tomorrow, October 30. The meeting was held by the Turkish Foreign Minister Khan Fidan. It was attended by the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan Jevan Bayromov, Kazakhstan Mukhtar Tleuberdi, Kyrgyzstan Jeenbek Kulubaev and Uzbekistan Bakhtior Saidov. Turkmenistan is represented by the ambassador in Ankara Makan Ishangayev. This is the fifth meeting of the organization's foreign ministers in 2026. The ministers agreed on draft decisions before the meeting of the leaders: the Ankara Declaration, documents on the development of the institutional structure of the AH, decisions on the Alsara Nabvi International Prize, as well as on the budgets of the AH Secretariat and the Turkish Academy for 2027. The general secretary of the organization Kubanychbek Omuraliev reported on the work during the chairmanship of Azerbaijan and the expansion of cooperation in more than 65 regions. We have traditionally discussed energy, trade, investment, digital transformation, defense and the Trans-Caspian Middle Corridor (TITR). On the sidelines of the meeting, Piden conducted bilateral contacts with colleagues. Turkey expects to take advantage of the chairmanship of the AH, which will transfer to him from Azerbaijan, to strengthen its secretariat, human power and financial potential, as well as coordination between the structures of Turkish cooperation. Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev will not join tomorrow's leaders' meeting, even though his participation was agreed in advance. According to media reports, Aliyev will stay in Baku to attend the award ceremony for the sophists of the first World Cup and the FIFA U-15 festival. Some Turkish publications linked the changes to recent disputes between Ankara and Baku over the restrictions on the wearing of bows in Azerbaijani schools. @CIS91.
