He said that TURKSOY played a very important role in bringing together the peoples of the Turkic world over these years.

If the public strengthens its contacts in the field of culture, science, spiritual relations, it does not remain unnoticed. It has a certain influence on the decisions of politicians", Secretary General said.

"A cooperation agreement has already been signed with the International Foundation of Humanitarian Cooperation of CIS countries, as well as with UNESCO. Now we are planning to exchange delegations with Islamic Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ISESCO). I think that we will also have a point of interaction with this prestigious organization," Kaseinov said.
He said that the agreement with ISESCO may be signed by late 2010.
