Summary
Türkiye is hosting the 13th summit of the Organization of Turkic States (OTS) in Ankara on October 29-30 under the theme 'Turkic Century: Unity in Language, Thought, and Deed'. The summit was welcomed by Turkish Vice President Djewdet Yilmaz, according to Tengrinews. The OTS includes five countries: Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkey, and Uzbekistan, as reported by Tengrinews. Tengrinews reported that Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev arrived at the palace complex 'Kuilei' in Ankara for the opening ceremony of the 13th OTS summit, but this is disputed by TRT World, which states that President Erdogan attended a similar summit in Kazakhstan in May 2026.
