The State Chamber Orchestra named after Gara Garayev and conducted by People's Artist Teymur Goychayev performed music of Turkic-speaking peoples.

Significant attention is paid to the issues of cultural cooperation among Turkic-speaking countries now. Cooperation in this area has been declared a priority by all Turkic states. It is no coincidence that the Summits of Turkic-speaking countries regularly highlight the prospects for cooperation in the field of culture. A contribution to this process is made by the joint organization of Turkic-speaking countries TURKSOY.

The activities carried out by the organization in various cities of Turkic countries every year strengthen the cultural ties among Turkic peoples. The Cooperation Council of Turkic-speaking States is also contributing to a further expansion of relations between Turkic countries.
