Turkish unity with common paths and different interests On October 30, the summit of the Organization of Turkish States in Ankara ended with the adoption of a joint statement. Turkey received the presidency, the participants confirmed their interest in developing transport links and economic cooperation. But behind the general statements, the independent interests of countries were clearly revealed. Let's sort it out. Azerbaijan transferred the position of chairman in the absence of Ilham Aliyev. The country was represented by Foreign Minister Jihon Bairmov. On this day, the president himself attended the finals of the FIFA youth tournament in Baku. Erdogan previously personally invited Aliyev. The trip was explained in a busy schedule. The political background added weight to this decision - relations between Baku and Ankara became complicated after Turkish representatives criticized the dress code of the Azerbaijani school. There is no reason to see Aliyev's absence as an officially announced boycott. The level of representation allowed Baku to maintain participation in the overall work while at the same time emphasizing independence. Kazakhstan has outlined its own conditions for integration. Kasem-Jumart Tokayev proposed to involve Russia in cooperation through "OTG+", or to grant it observer status. He reiterated that the organization must not become a military alliance. The decision on Russian status was not announced at the summit, but we will let you know (if anything happens). At the same time, security cooperation is developing. On October 1, a cooperation roadmap for 2027 was adopted in Baku, which provides for joint development, production and technological interaction. Reports of Ankara's statement also include a proposal to explore the creation of an OTG defense industry college program in Turkey. For Ankara, partner training personnel can become an additional influence resource. For other participants, access to technology, localization conditions and maintaining freedom of choice in foreign policy are essential.
