What is the Cooperation Council of Turkic-Speaking States?
CCTS’s main purpose is further improvement of the comprehensive collaboration between the Turkic Speaking States. Additionally, the peace and stability in the region and in the world are the elements of the overall CCTS’s mission. As it is stated in the official website of the organization:

Russia ready to join the Turkic Council
As it appears, Russia is ready to consider the possibility of joining the CCTS, as it is reported by the head of Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia, Sergey Lavrov. He also commented:
“We have Turkic people and Turkic culture, which is not disappearing, and, as any of the other cultures of any of the nations of Russia, is protected by the government. There is an international organization - The Cooperation Council of Turkic-Speaking States, where Russia is not present, as one of the requirements states that the majority of population should be Turkic. But I personally don’t see any problem in joining this organization.”
Mr. Lavrov highlighted that if this organization will be accepting the countries, where most of the population is not Turkic, Russia “will certainly consider joining the CCTS”. He added:
“Moreover, it would be, probably, interesting and useful from the point of view of the necessity of highlighting the fact that the Turkic nations are not isolating.”
