According to Anadolu Agency – English, Communications Director Burhanettin Duran emphasized the leadership of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Turkey's commitment to the Turkic world's collective journey. Duran highlighted the importance of advancing cooperation aligned with the Turkic World Vision 2040 and the need to fortify common language, memory, and communication capacity.

Duran also underscored the strategic importance of training artificial intelligence models on high-quality content rooted in their own language and resources, aiming to shape the narrative of the Turkic world with their voice and values. Addressing the issue of disinformation, he stressed the need to transform fact-checking efforts against disinformation targeting the Turkic world into a collective reflex, rather than individual institutional responsibilities.

In his remarks, Duran pointed out the necessity of achieving a unified response to disinformation campaigns across member countries of the Organization of Turkic States. He mentioned the need for capitals such as Baku, Tashkent, Astana, and Ankara to react swiftly and uniformly to disinformation originating from places like Bishkek.
