Abstract

The article analyzes the objective prerequisites and the current state of integration of the Turkic states in the field of culture. The common history, language and traditions of the Turkic peoples form the basis for the search and definition of mechanisms for closer cooperation, which
became possible after the collapse of the USSR. The study of these processes implies the complex use of philosophical-historical and cultural-civilizational, as well as interdisciplinary approaches.
According to experts, the cultural factor laid the foundation for European integration, becoming the basis for the formation of future pan-European institutions. Such a trend can also be discussed by the example of the rapprochement of the Turkic countries. In 1993, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkey, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan created an Organization for the Joint Development of Turkic Culture and Art, which was renamed TURKSOY in 2009.
TURKSOY has passed the first stage of institutionalization, which implies establishing cooperation with Member States and observers, as well as with other international organizations. From 2009 to the present, the second stage has been taking place, characterized by deepening and expanding cooperation, the implementation of various projects and initiatives.

TURKSOY is rightfully called the «UNESCO of the Turkic world», thanks to which it is possible to explore and preserve the rich Turkic cultural heritage, promote the art and literature of related peoples.
