"The Turkic Society of the Diplomatic Academy of Vienna will dive into the diverse backgrounds of many Turkic Countries including Türkiye, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan of the Turkic Organization. The Society is founded by Turkic Students of the Diplomatic Academy of Vienna listed as Dolunay Altan, Elias Okur, Emre Cavusoglu, Eren Sönmez, Selinay Demirel and Öykü Karakaya coming from Türkiye and Kazakhstan in the purpose of representing the Turkic Culture to further engage in its diversity and similarity at the same time. As being one of the oldest nomadic tribes, different groups have settled in different parts of the world creating a sense of newly established communities finding each other and common history again. We, as the team of the Turkic Society, are pleased to introduce all Turkic Countries with various events and organizations."
