Within this framework, the implementation of joint projects, organization of scientific-educational programs, ethical and professional training of judges, conducting joint legal research, and continuous exchange of experience will create a reliable platform. This process will make a significant contribution to deepening the common legal culture of Turkic states and promoting the principles of justice and the rule of law.”
