Erdogan Urges Turkic States to Strengthen Ties with Turkish Cypriots at Summit
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan addressed the informal Organisation of Turkic States summit in Turkistan, Kazakhstan, calling for strengthened political, economic, and cultural relations between Turkic states and the Turkish Cypriots. He highlighted the meaningful inclusion of Turkish Cypriot President Tufan Erhurman, describing the community as an integral part of the Turkic world. While the summit primarily focused on artificial intelligence and digital development, Erdogan emphasized the need for a unified digital vision among member states. He advocated for building this vision on qualified human resources, robust digital infrastructure, and data-driven public administration. Referencing historical figures like Al-Khwarizmi and Ismail Gaspirali, Erdogan argued that digital connectivity and joint technology projects are essential to prevent falling behind in global transformation and to safeguard independence. He warned against allowing AI to become a tool of domination, urging members to view digitalization as an opportunity rooted in shared heritage and future-oriented cooperation.
