Role of Turkiye and Turkic Countries in Creation of New Security Architecture in Europe

"The current geopolitical landscape in Europe is characterized by a number of challenges, including the war in Ukraine. In light of this, the participation of Türkiye and the Turkic countries is seen as an important factor in creating a new security architecture in Europe," this was highlighted by Minister of Foreign Affairs of Hungary Peter Szijjártó in an interview with Kazakhstan’s Silk Way TV, Azernews reports.

“We believe that without Türkiye and the Turkic world, there will be no sustainable security architecture in Europe. To implement this sustainable strategy, the participation of Türkiye and the Turkic countries, especially Central Asian ones, is necessary,” Szijjártó noted.

“We cannot isolate ourselves. Security in Europe will not be ensured and will never become a reality without taking into account security in Central Asia. Therefore, [our] cooperation ties must be closer and stronger in the future,” the Hungarian minister said.

The Organization of Turkic States (OTS) was established in 2009 as the Cooperation Council of the Turkic-speaking States. The OTS is an intergovernmental organization comprising prominent independent Turkic countries: Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkiye, and Uzbekistan. Hungary, Northern Cyprus, and Turkmenistan are observer states to the organization. The overarching aim of the OTS is to promote comprehensive cooperation among Turkic-speaking states.

The OTS has been instrumental in fostering cooperation between the Turkic countries and has been successful in promoting peace and stability in the region. This has been demonstrated through the organization’s efforts to facilitate dialogue and cooperation between the countries, as well as its role in promoting economic and cultural ties.

The OTS has also been a key player in the establishment of a new security architecture in Europe. The organization has been actively involved in the development of a framework for regional security cooperation and has been instrumental in facilitating dialogue between the countries in the region.
