The International Organization of Turkic Culture (Turkish: Uluslararasi Türk
Kültürü Teşkilati, TÜRKSOY) is an international cultural organization of
countries with Turkic populations, speaking languages belonging to the Turkic
language family. TÜRKSOY was subsequently established by an agreement signed on
July 12, 1993 in Almaty.
Members and observers are: Azerbaijan,
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzistan, Uzbekistan,
Turkey, Turkmenistan, and Altai Republic, Bashkortostan, Gagauzia (Moldova),
Khakassia, Northern Cyprus, Sakha (Yakutia), Tatarstan, and Tyva.
In 1996, an official cooperation between TÜRKSOY and
UNESCO was established, involving mutual consultations and reciprocal
representation. It is announced that TÜRKSOY will be integrated into
Turkic Council, a geopolitical organization of Turkic countries established
on November 3, 2009.
