Opening the session, President of the Turkic Academy Shain Mustafayev emphasized the strategic importance of the project and the need to consolidate the scientific potential of the Turkic world, reported the institution’s press service on Sept. 11.
“The new academic monograph will provide a scientifically grounded perspective on our shared historical heritage. It will also serve to strengthen cultural and humanitarian ties between brotherly nations,” said Mustafayev.
The two-volume monograph will present a comprehensive view of Turkic history. Participants agreed on its structure, thematic sections, and the formation of international working groups, while stressing the importance of academic independence and unified scholarly standards.
In a symbolic gesture of this growing unity, OTS Secretary General Kubanychbek Omuraliev announced that the organization’s flag will soon be sent into space.
“Within the organization’s framework, more than 40 platforms have been created, covering diplomacy, trade, economy, agriculture, tourism, and even space. Soon, we will send the OTS flag into space as a symbol of the unity of the Turkic world,” Omuraliev said, following the fourth meeting of OTS Security Council secretaries in Bishkek on Sept. 12.
