BAKU, Azerbaijan, November 8.

Speaking at the Summit Mr. President Shavkat Mirziyoyev stated the following:
“Dear heads of delegations!
To bring our fraternal peoples even closer, and to educate our youth in a spirit worthy of our ancestors, it would be truly expedient to publish a multi-volume Collection of Folklore of the Turkic peoples in the languages of our member countries.
In this regard, it is our urgent task to co-create the fundamental research such as “The History of Turkic Countries”.
At the same time, I believe we need to encourage the direct translation from Turkic languages, and to introduce the optional lessons on Turkic peoples, their history, ethnography, culture, and arts in our schools.
I also express Uzbekistan’s readiness to become a full member of the Turkic Culture and Heritage Foundation”.
We, the Turkic Culture and Heritage Foundation, express our deep gratitude to the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, His Excellency Mr. Shavkat Mirziyoyev, for the trust and would like to emphasize that this initiative is a great honor for us.
During the period of its activity, the Turkic Culture and Heritage Foundation has implemented many projects related to Uzbekistan, which is an integral part of the Turkic world.
The implementation of this initiative by the President of Uzbekistan contributes to further strengthening fraternal ties between the Turkic peoples with a common culture, rich heritage and centuries-old history, as well as expanding cooperation between the Turkic Culture and Heritage Foundation and the Turkic countries in the direction of studying, preserving and promoting our cultural values.
It should be noted that today, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Türkiye are the founding countries, and Hungary is the observer country of the Turkic Culture and Heritage Foundation.
Uzbekistan becomes a member country of the Turkic Culture and Heritage Foundation
