Former Secretary General of the Organization of Turkic States Halil Akinci in his speech urged countries to strengthen international cooperation.

“The members of the Turkic Council should not be in confrontation but should cooperate with each other. The Turkic countries are located between Europe and Asia, these are our neighbors, and we must cooperate with them. We also have a role to play in resolving internal conflicts. Our economy is complex. There are problems that should be solved only through cooperation,” Akinci said.
