From the Idea of Turkish Unity Towards the Organization of Turkish States: History and Contemporary

Our research on the topic of Turkish unity led us to the conclusion that significant progress has been made in recent years in bringing the concept of Turkish unity to fruition. As the Turkish peoples get to know one another better and rediscover their shared heritage, the notion of working together to create the future is growing. Simultaneously, the development of technology, the hosting of conferences and symposiums that Turkish scientists attended, and most importantly, the bolstering of political, economic, cultural, and military cooperation among the Turkic states have all contributed significantly to this direction. In regards to the establishment of Turkish unity, there is not much that can be done to reach a consensus among the many distinct ideas that are being considered in order to make this idea a reality. Stated differently, we Turks have made significant progress in bringing the current independent and semi-independent Turkish states together to form a single political union. Additionally, the self-confidence of the Turkish peoples has started to return on the path to Turkish unity. The issue of achieving Turkish unity has, in fact, somewhat faded into the background, and what transpired up until recently against the backdrop of the 21st century being the “Turkish century» was not encouraging at all. The main method in relation to Turkic unity is to be based on the philosophy of the Turkic peoples, the Turkic states, and to show the essence of the creation of the Organization of Turkic States. The main method here is to proceed from the political-ideological philosophy of the Turkic Union on the one hand and to show sensitivity to foreign methods directed against it on the other. The main issue here is to express the uniqueness of the philosophy of the Turkic Union in a historical-philosophical and contemporary sense. At the same time, one of the main issues in the article is to evaluate the sources of the history of the Turkic unity and the importance of the Organization of Turkic States becoming one of the new centers of power in the world of Turkic States.
