The organization's establishment
The Organization of Turkic States was established under the name Cooperation Council of Turkic-Speaking States after Türkiye, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan signed the Nakhchivan Agreement on 3 October 2009.
Uzbekistan joined the organization at the summit held in Baku in 2019, raising the number of member states to five. Turkmenistan, Hungary and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus participate in the organization as observers.
At the summit held in Istanbul in 2021, the organization's name was changed from the Cooperation Council of Turkic-Speaking States to the Organization of Turkic States.
