UZBEKISTAN

In 1996, Türkiye signed an “Treaty of Eternal Friendship” with Uzbekistan. Türkiye has many agreements with many countries. And it has friendship, good neighborliness and cooperation agreements with many friendly countries. None of these agreements is called the Treaty of Eternal Friendship. In other words, this is the first time since the establishment of the Republic of Türkiye that it is signing an eternal friendship treaty, and it is signing it with Uzbekistan.

The meaning of this treaty goes far beyond the meaning of the word. The word means forever. But its main meaning is that two brotherly countries, having accepted friendship under all circumstances, have decided to preserve this friendship and reject any evil that may be directed against this friendship, without blinking an eye, without thinking, without judgment. The meaning of the Treaty of Eternal Friendship is very great.

There is no limit to this. Literally, the two countries will be together until the end of their lives and will overcome the difficulties and obstacles together. The Marmara Group Foundation, with its civil society identity, is also engaged in activities worthy of this exceptional friendship.

In the past years, as Marmara Group Foundation, we took part in numerous events in Uzbekistan.

Marmara Group Foundation is a think tank that has carried out beautiful and productive works in Turkish-Uzbek civil society relations in Tashkent, Samarkand, Fergana, Urgench, Khiva, Karşı, Bukhara, Andijan. Our relations are good enough to be shown as an example to other countries and other think tanks.

The cooperation between the Marmara Group Foundation and Uzbekistan is one of the unions that most civil society organizations should take as an example.
