The book showcases the strong bonds of friendship and brotherhood in economy, culture, transportation, energy, health, education, media, science and technology that have been forged from the past to the present, it said on Friday.
It includes the humanitarian solidarity displayed by Turkic states and their peoples during the coronavirus pandemic, the Second Karabakh War and twin earthquakes that hit southern Türkiye on February 6.
The book has three sections: The Organization of Turkic States as an Entity, Common Past, Strong Future - Areas of Cooperation and Standing Together in Tough Times.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan emphasised in the forward the growing and strengthening relationships and cooperation between the Turkic peoples and states who share the same roots, history and culture, standing together in times of joy and sorrow.

OTS member countries have been fighting terrorism, anti-Turk and anti-Islam sentiment, he added.
