Cinema organizations of the Turkic world signed a memorandum of understanding to create a unified film and media platform at the TURKSOY forum held in Samarkand.
Turkic-speaking countries such as Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Turkey, and Uzbekistan will produce and share the content for this platform.
This step is seen as a significant development for reaching wide audiences with Turkic cultural heritage.
TURKISH TV SERIES ARE BROADCAST IN OVER 170 COUNTRIES
Turkish TV series, particularly productions like “Muhteşem Yüzyıl” (The Magnificent Century), have played a major role in promoting Turkish culture and history worldwide.
Turkish series are broadcast in over 170 countries and reach nearly 750 million viewers.
These productions stand out as an important part of Turkey’s soft power and cultural diplomacy.
The new platform is expected to carry this potential even further.
A pan-Turkic media platform, while strengthening shared history and cultural ties, could become an important asset for pan-Turkic ideology in the future.
The attractive image that Turkey will create through this platform could also contribute to future geopolitical projects.
Such content could be effective not only in the Turkic world but also in other markets dependent on Turkish series, such as Russia.
NEARLY 150 PROJECTS SIGNED
The “Great Heritage of Ancestors - Foundation of the Third Renaissance” congress held in Samarkand stands out as part of the efforts to deepen cultural cooperation among Turkic world countries.
Nearly 150 projects and memorandums were signed at this forum.
Projects such as the Eternal City and the Great Silk Road aim to increase the region’s potential in tourism and culture.
The media platform project can be considered an extension of these goals.
The Turkic communities' joint media platform is a powerful step that could increase the influence of the Turkic world in the fields of cinema and culture. This initiative, which has the potential to strengthen cultural ties and promote the shared heritage of the Turkic world, could also become a serious strategic asset from a geopolitical perspective.
