21st century will be the century of the Turkic world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Minister pointed out that there are two separate peoples and two separate states representing two separate peoples in the

Republic of T\u00fcrkiye for the presence of the TRNC at the OTS Summit and all OTS members who supported the acceptance of the TRNC as an observer
