Critical readWhat happened. Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced the organization of the 13th Summit of Turkish States (OTS) that will take place on October 26, 2026 in Ankara. The event, with the slogan 'Turkic Century: Unity in Language, Thought, and Deed', will focus on cooperation between member states in areas such as trade, investment, electricity, digital infrastructure, and space.
The good economic situation in Ankara is due to its strategic position and its economic ties with the OTS member states. The city has become an important entry point for international markets, especially in the fields of logistics and transportation. The presence of Ankara at the 13th Summit of Turkish States represents a significant moment for Turkey's foreign policy and international trade.
President Erdogan promised to approve new cooperation agreements among the OTS member states, which would lead to a significant increase in commercial transactions. Additionally, Ankara has invested heavily in the digitalization of the country, with the creation of an e-commerce system that allows easy exports and imports through the internet. This system was implemented thanks to the support of the Turkish government and has further increased commercial transactions.
Ankara has also invested in technological research and development projects, such as the construction of a new center of energy research and development, which is scheduled to be inaugurated on October 26, 2026 in Ankara. This project was realized in collaboration with many national universities and research institutes. President Erdogan promised to continue promoting diplomatic relations with other OTS member states, particularly with Turkmenistan, Hungary, the Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC), and the Organization of Economic Cooperation (OECD).
These relations have been improved and have led to a significant increase in trade between the OTS member states. The organization of the 13th Summit of Turkish States has seen a large number of attentions from the members' leaders, who listened carefully to every word spoken by President Erdogan. The leaders then approved the Ankara Declaration, which should serve as a starting point for developing new cooperation policies among the OTS member states.
Moreover, the organization has seen delegations of Turkish companies present at the business and investment conferences held on October 26, 2026 in Ankara. This display of strength has demonstrated Ankara's will to maintain its commercial and diplomatic relations with the OTS member states.
