Talk:Organization of Turkic States

Hungary
Any information on why Hungary is affiliated? Afaik Hungary has no connection, linguistically (Finno-Ugric), ethnically or culturally (other than fighting the Ottomans) to the Turkic cultural realm. Without a little background information on this, the article is incomplete IMHO. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:16B8:2E24:6F00:54A7:EBAB:890C:2554 (talk) 06:27, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan
Could someone please add an explanation why these two Turkic countries have not joined the Council. Davshul (talk) 16:25, 15 December 2009 (UTC)


 * I was wondering why they have their own colour on the map, but with no explanation as to their status and what that colour means. Varlaam (talk) 20:11, 21 November 2010 (UTC)


 * I had forgotten that I had noticed this problem back in November.
 * Still no resolution.

Two main reasons
Ottoman (talk)

It can be told about two main reasons in this subject

1) In 1995, An assassination attempt to Karimov, common relevance of Turkish marginal religionists-nationalists groups with this event. (but you should search for the reason of attempt)

2) In 2005, after suppressing by Karimov of Andican events/uprising that the US supports, Turkey was the first condemnating country against to Karimov before Europe done. (but you should search for the reason of uprising) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.132.61.23 (talk) 14:03, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Nakhchivan and Xinjiang
I wonder if the section National Autonomous Republics with Turkic ethnos (older title: Not sovereign Turkic countries) lists an official data or an opinion. If the later is true the list should also include Nakhchivan and Xinjiang. I am waiting for the feedbacks.Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 15:19, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Organization of Turkic States
According to the Turkish news of Anadolu agency, which is Turkish state owned news agency, Turkish minister of foreign affairs announced that Turkic Council's name has changed into "Organization of Turkic States". I think this page has to be transferred to that name aswell. news BerkBerk68 (talk) 17:59, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
 * User:Beshogur may i ask why did you reverted the name change without giving any reason? BerkBerk68 (talk) 19:24, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
 * not only Anadolu Agency but many Turkish state-owned media organizations (such as Turkish Radio and Television Corporation and its subsidiaries) are confirming the news. I don't understand the reason of revert due to you did not explain. If i don't get any answers, I will move the page again. BerkBerk68 (talk) 19:29, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
 * stop edit warring on changing the names pure based on its Turkish form and only a news of daily sabah. The official website still refers to itself as the Turkic Council., which its official name is "Cooperation Council of Turkic Speaking States", so most probably this name will change and Turkic Council will remain. So stop edit warring and change the names in past. Beshogur (talk) 20:25, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I guess you are not reading things i write. I did not even referred "Daily Sabah" as my source, I referred directly state owned Turkish media. here, here and here. Also Çavuşoğlu's speech at meeting, as its visible and hearable directly from himself, is also here. BerkBerk68 (talk) 20:37, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
 * As I said, the name Turkic Council most likely doesn't go anywhere. It's current "long name" will change, because it contains "Turkic-speaking states" instead of Turkic states. Also I am aware of that from months ago. So please, asking to move the page back to its original title, and we'll see if an official announcement by the Turkic Council themselves is made in English. And, even if Turkic Council name is changed (it wont, you can not simply remove, for example: 7th summit of the Turkic Council, because back then its name was not "Organization of Turkic States". Beshogur (talk) 20:54, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Okay. I am not going to touch or respond any edits that is being done until tomorrow. I assume that everything would be clarified tomorrow and I will act and edit according to the results of tomorrow's summit. Thanks for negotiating BerkBerk68 (talk) 21:09, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

and I would wait more for an official name change if "Turkic Council" is changed. Erdogan says "our council's name is changed", considering that's not the long name, so I assume "Cooperation Council of Turkic-Speaking States" is changed, but let's wait. Beshogur (talk) 15:53, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I was just adding a new comment about it here, got the alert about someone edited since you started writing. "Today, Erdogan announced that the council's name will be transferred into "Organization of Turkic States" by saying "Our council's name is now Organization of Turkic States", however, none of the social medias of Organization has changed its name or even its official name." I also asked about should we move the page back or just wait until everything clarifies at the end of my comment. I guess your opinion is waiting just like mine, but its obvious that either official name or both changed. When we find out about the situation, we could edit according to the confirmed knowledge. BerkBerk68 (talk) 16:02, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
 * First time a Turkish state owned establishment -Turkey's Directorate of Communications- used the term "Organization of Turkic States" in English. Organization's official account retweeted the tweet. I don't know if its important or not but, i thought it wouldn't be bad to mention this. BerkBerk68 (talk) 16:35, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I would like to mention that I saw a comment of Turkic Council official account in twitter, saying that they will change name of their official accounts in several days. So I think we shouldn't revert the page fastly, we should wait several days since this comment + Erdogan and Çavuşoğlu announced that the official name is "Organization of Turkic States" and the organization is being spreaded under this name in media fastly. BerkBerk68 (talk) 18:10, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Binali Yıldırım's Turkish tweet: https://twitter.com/BY/status/1459175840353292296 "Turkic Council's name turned into Organization of Turkic States" BerkBerk68 (talk) 21:51, 12 November 2021 (UTC)

Why didn't the logo change? It can be that Turkic Council stays, but the "Organization of Turkic States" is the long official name. If they keep continue to use the Turkic Council on their logo, etc. We should move it back to Turkic Council page per wp:commonname. Beshogur (talk) 23:09, 12 November 2021 (UTC)

Anon: The organisation mentions the name change on its own official website: https://www.turkkon.org/en/haberler/eighth-summit-of-the-organization-of-turkic-states-was-held-in-istanbul_2394 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:8108:95BF:AEF8:2030:85:3F96:269D (talk) 06:47, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
 * TBH I really don't have any idea. I think they are either designing or waiting to change the logo. Just google "Organization of Turkic States" and many media groups (majority Turkish state owned) say "Turkic Council changed to Turkic States Organization" already and also official twitter account changed its name aswell. Also unrelated but, could you please check talk page of organization's map? BerkBerk68 (talk) 08:34, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes looks like the logo did change as well. Beshogur (talk) 11:46, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

see this: 1. Decided to change the name of the “Cooperation Council of Turkic Speaking States” to the “Organization of Turkic States” as I told. Beshogur (talk) 15:47, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah the official name is changed, but widely used name is also changed. widely used name was being used at ex-symbol and the ex social media accounts, now all the official social media accounts changed its name and picture into the ones with new name BerkBerk68 (talk) 16:26, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
 * https://www.turkkon.org/en/haberler/to-the-kind-attention-of-guests-of-our-web-site_2397
 * I added both names to "formerly called". Also could someone upload the new logo? Beshogur (talk) 16:40, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Great! it is a good feeling to cooperate with an important wikipedia editor. I would upload the new logo but sadly I couldn't find one with HD resolution. I also replaced the word "Turkic Council" with "Organization of Turkic States" in the article, but didn't touch the old events and summits. BerkBerk68 (talk) 19:36, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

Chairmen list
Could anyone expand the list? So before Aliyev, it was Jeenbekov, but couldn't find the exact dates, and before Nazarbayev, etc. Beshogur (talk) 12:30, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi, I've couldnt find the dates so, I updated missing chairmen according to article 8 of the Nakhcivan agreement.--Joseph (talk) 13:44, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

Official Languages
Do we have sources on official languages list? Hungarian language is pretty used officially at the OTS, it is existing at everywhere where the other languages exist, there is even an official hungarian website that other members dont specifically have (turkkon.hu). Turkmen language is also being used officially aswell, but especially Hungarian has a serious importance on the formality for the Turkic States especially when we consider the European office of the Organization is at Hungary. BerkBerk68talk 18:36, 7 July 2022 (UTC)


 * This would be WP:OR. By official languages, we mean official languages of member countries. As working language, English is listed. (Not sure if Turkish is a working language as well). Beshogur (talk) 19:55, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I mean, "we mean" doesn't make sense to me, like do we have official or unofficial sources? I have checked official website and I couldn't find. BerkBerk68talk 21:01, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Well, I think that's the purpose. Otherwise we can just leave the working languages. Beshogur (talk) 05:56, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
 * "The working languages of the CCTS are the state languages of the Parties and the English language" according to Nakhcivan agreement. I believe that this document is still valid after CCTS became OTS.--Joseph (talk) 13:36, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I mean, "parties" according to what? Should we count observer states? BerkBerk68 (talk) 19:18, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Parties sign agreements, observers don't.--Joseph (talk) 17:34, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

Page too long to navigate
Basically what my title says, the page could use some trimming to make is shorter while maintaining all the useful information that have been added by other editors. S.G ReDark (talk) 03:20, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

Kiev?
Ukraina is not an member nor an observer so why Kiev is counted as one of the political center? 2402:800:629C:54A3:31B6:E27B:C9C8:2C63 (talk) 16:03, 28 June 2023 (UTC)


 * The explanation is just below; in the notes. Kyiv is where the Turkic Diaspora Center is located. Imperadors (talk) 13:57, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Nevertheless, Ukraine is not part of the association - and the Turkic diaspora lives in the annexed Crimea. where appropriate is Uzbekistan . which is not allowed to deposit DIII2000 (talk) 23:04, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
