They want to include Russia in the Organization of Turkic States At the 13th summit of the Organization of Turkic States in Ankara, Kazakhstan President Kassem-Jomart Tokayev proposed to accept Russia into the association as an observer. "It would be a fair decision to take a positive attitude towards Russia's intention and invite it to join this format or participate in the activities of UTG as an observer. If Russia becomes part of the Turkish states, that is, our organization, it will benefit everyone," Tokayev was quoted as saying in the media. The head of Kazakhstan recalled that Russia has maintained close ties with the Turkic world for centuries, and emphasized the mutual benefits of such cooperation. At the same time, Tokayev separately described the nature of the union: "The Organization of Turkic States is not and in the future should not become a military alliance. This is Kazakhstan's position." Tokayev claims the initiative by saying that Tatars, Bashkirs, Yakuts, Chushes and other Turkic peoples historically live in Russia, and Moscow promotes the project "Altai - the cradle of Turkish civilization".
