From September 9 to 12, the 14th International Symposium of Altaic Communities was held in Baku, the capital of the Republic of Azerbaijan, with the support of the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences. The international scientific forum was organized as part of the events commemorating the 100th anniversary of the First International Congress of Turkology and was held under the theme “The Past, Present and Future of Altaic Studies.” The scientific programme of the symposium covered a wide range of current issues related to the history and culture of Altaic communities, their languages and civilizational heritage, research areas within the Turkic world, and contemporary prospects for the development of Altaic studies.

The international symposium brought together 110 scholars from 15 countries — Azerbaijan, Türkiye, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Mongolia, India, China, Japan, North Macedonia, Hungary, Germany, and the Russian Federation.
