TURKSOY pursues the same principles and objectivcs as UNESCO.

One of the main goals of TURKSOY is to reveal the socio cultural similarities among the peoples speaking Turkic languages, to explore, to protect, to develop and to maintain the common civil heritage.

The multi dimensional activities of TURKSOY are not only limited to cultural relation and cooperation between the member states but they also aim at strengthening the ties of friendship, peace, tolerance and solidarity all over the world.
