Security Aspect of the Integration in Turkic World under the Organization of Turkic States

The Turkic states began their collaboration in 1992. Over time, this cooperation has grown deeper, resulting in the establishment of the Organization of Turkic States (OTS), which has evolved into a comprehensive international organization. The member states of OTS have expressed their commitment to pursuing coordinated policies on security matters that are of mutual interest. As a result, the security dimension has become increasingly prominent within the multidimensional areas of cooperation within OTS in recent years. In light of this, the present study aims to explore the positive outcomes of enhanced and fortified security collaboration among Turkic states under the umbrella of OTS. Specifically, the study will focus on systemic security, regional security, and key security issues such as counter-terrorism and military capacity, shedding light on the potential benefits derived from these collaborative efforts.

However, with the collapse of the Soviet Union, these barriers were finally removed, and Turkic people were able to come together and reconnect with their shared history, culture, and language. Moreover, the Turkic states gained their independence in Central Asia and the Caucasus. Thus, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan were included in the international system, and together with Türkiye, they all created the Turkic World.
