I hope that the Turkic World will continue to maintain and strengthen its political, economic, and cultural relations with the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.”

President Erdoğan: “As Türkiye, we are ready to share with the members of our Organization the experience we have gained in the defence industry, which we have shaped through high technology. We attach importance to the regular convening of meetings of defence industry institutions within our Organization.”

President Erdoğan: “Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, Ukraine, and many other crises indicate that we need to strengthen our defence and increase our cooperation in the field of industry.”

President Erdoğan: “We believe that artificial intelligence-based initiatives such as the Turkish Language Model, which will enhance the visibility of the richness of our common language in the digital world, should be supported. Through models such as the Turkic World Civil Society Support System, we can strengthen our digital cooperation in this field.”

President Erdoğan: “It is important to ensure the use of the Common Turkic Alphabet across a wide range of areas, from education to culture, and from academic cooperation to digital transformation.”

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan speaks at the Informal Summit of the Organization of Turkic States: “In order to have a greater voice and influence in the world of the future, we must elevate our cooperation, particularly in technology, to the highest level. In this regard, I find it highly appropriate that our Summit is being held under the theme of artificial intelligence and digital development.”
