He added, “The Turkic Council, which was founded in 2009 as a sign of the improving solidarity and friendly relations between Turkic-speaking states, is now known as the ‘Organization of Turkic States’ and establishes stronger partnerships between these countries. We are delighted to host Turkic press members in Turkey.”

Fethi Fahri Kaya, Deputy Director-General of TRT, delivered a speech about the training and said, “I consider this program not as a training program, but as an experience sharing program. I hope that the sharing of experience will not be limited to this 5-day training program and that our relations will continue.”

The 5-day training program included courses for press members on the Use of Social Media, Content Creation in Digital Media, Strategy Management in Digital Media, and Design in Digital Media.
