After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan gained their independence in 1991 and took their place on the international arena as the “Newly Independent Turkic Republics”. New Turkic Republics signed agreements on various fields with many countries, notably Turkey, Russia and China. These agreements New Turkic Republics signed generally have economic bases. Agreements with a priority of education and teaching, directed by common academic programs and common purposes, have not yet been implemented. To compensate for this shortcoming, a project with a final objective of “Turkic World Citizenship” was prepared and put into effect in 2013 under the arch of Atatürk University Middle East and Central Asia Caucasus Research and Administration Center within the scope of Scientific Research Projects (BAP). In this article, information about the scope and objectives of “Citizenship of the Turkic World Project”, which was started by Atatürk University and was participated by other institutions and organizations later on, is presented.
