News:
On October 8, Anadolu Agency reported that "the 12th summit of heads of state of the Organization of Turkic States was held in the Azerbaijani city of Gabala from October 6 to 7, 2025, under the slogan "Peace and Regional Security". The chairmanship of the organization was transferred from Kyrgyzstan to Azerbaijan. High-level representatives from all member and observer states participated, making this summit one of the most important in the organization's history.
Following the summit, the leaders adopted the Gabala Declaration, consisting of 121 articles, and signed agreements on establishing the "Organization of Turkic States +" formula, strengthening the Center for Turkic Culture and Heritage, and reorganizing the Turkic Academy. Turkmenistan became an observer in the Turkic Academy and the Turkic Culture and Heritage Foundation, and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus became an observer in the Academy of Turkic States."
Comment:
The origins of the Organization of Turkic States are linked in the recent past after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1992, and on the initiative of the then Turkish President Turgut Ozal, the first summit of Turkic-speaking countries was held in Ankara. In 2021, Turkish President Erdogan announced in Istanbul the renaming of the Turkic Council to the "Organization of Turkic States."
The main idea behind building cooperation between these countries is based on nationalism, where the language of Turkic-speaking peoples is the main unifying factor. This is not a new idea; we can see similarities in the League of Arab States, as Great Britain suggested the idea in 1943, and the agreement to establish the League was signed in 1945 in Cairo, and since then, its peoples have suffered from the tyranny of rulers and colonizers. Over the years, these countries have been mired in poverty and ruin. No summit or agreement signed by the countries has brought prosperity and peace to them. On the contrary, these countries live in a state of tension, with endless revolutions, coups and wars. The situation is similar in the countries of the Turkic-speaking peoples.
First: The idea of unifying Turkic-speaking or Arabic-speaking peoples is a tool used by the West, represented by the United States and Britain, to divide Islamic countries in order to maintain its influence in the region by establishing autocratic regimes over Muslims and preventing the establishment of the second Khilafah Rashidah.
Second: National ties are inappropriate ties between peoples for three reasons: they are ties of kinship and tribal ties, and they are not suitable for uniting peoples who have embarked on the path of renaissance. Because it is an emotional bond, it stems from the instinct for survival and leads to a love of power. It is also not a human bond because it causes conflict and strife between people in the pursuit of power. This is proven by the reality of the Islamic countries, which are today dominated by national borders drawn by the colonizers.
Third: With regard to the CIS summit, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, a new international problem emerged in the world, which is the problem of Central Asia, which is based on America's desire to remove Russia from its areas of influence in Central Asia and the Caucasus. The CIS acts as a tool for America's intellectual and political maneuvers, with the aim of removing Russia from these regions on the one hand, and on the other hand, to divide Muslims on a national basis between Arabs, Turks and Persians. America is exploiting Russia's political and economic weakness after the start of the war in Ukraine to intensify its conflict in the Caucasus and Central Asia.
A prominent example of this is the resolution of the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia, which lasted for more than 30 years. In August, Trump signed an agreement on the Zangezur corridor from Azerbaijan through Armenia to Turkey, for 99 years, to be called the "Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity." This corridor connects Turkey directly to the countries of Central Asia. Azerbaijan will now become a major transportation hub in Eurasia.
America uses the Zangezur corridor as a geopolitical tool, as this corridor opens up new opportunities for Central Asian countries, providing alternative energy routes that bypass Russian routes. The intensification of America's relations with Central Asian countries and the use of Azerbaijan for unity with Uzbekistan is a direct blow from America to weaken Russia in the region.
This unfortunate fact and the reasons why the colonizers are fighting among themselves to possess the resources of the Islamic countries were described by the Prophet ﷺ in one of his hadiths. Imam Ahmad and others narrated a hadith narrated by Thawban, may God be pleased with him, who said: The Messenger of God ﷺ said: «The nations are about to call each other to attack you as diners call each other to their bowl. Someone said: Is it because of our small number that day? He said: Rather, you will be numerous that day, but you will be scum like the scum of the torrent, and God will remove the fear of you from the hearts of your enemies, and God will cast weakness into your hearts. Someone said: O Messenger of God, what is weakness? He said: Love of the world and hatred of death».
