Abstract

This research explores the growing cooperation and integration among Turkic-speaking states in the 21st century. It examines the political, economic, and cultural dimensions of this unification process, with particular focus on the activities of the Organization of Turkic States (OTS). The study analyzes how shared historical roots, linguistic and cultural affinities, and common geopolitical interests are driving these nations closer together. Furthermore, it assesses the geopolitical significance of this unification within Central Asia, the Caucasus, the Middle East, and the broader Eurasian region, as well as its implications for global political dynamics and relations with major world powers
