Turkic-speaking countries are successfully implementing a program on creation of a single Turkic language, Turkish Education Minister Nabi Avci, said on Friday.

"Projects are also conducted to create a common Turkic language under the guidance of UNESCO," Avci said.

According to Avci, at the same time it is necessary to work on the creation of unified textbooks on history, geography and literature of Turkic-speaking countries for the entire Turkic world.

The Cooperation Council of Turkic Speaking States (CCTS) was establihed in 2009 as an international intergovernmental organization, with the overarching aim of promoting comprehensive cooperation among Turkic Speaking States. Its four founding member states are Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Turkey.

Established norms related to the maintenance of peace, security and development of good-neighbourly relations lay the foundation for cooperation to be promoted under CCTS.

Cooperation under CCTS is based on the particular solidarity stemming from the unity of common history, culture, identity and language of Turkic speaking peoples. Member states have stated their commitment to the basic principles of democracy, respect for human rights, rule of law and good governance.
