The 3rd TÜRKSOY Youth Forum was held in Trabzon, bringing together young participants from 22 different countries to discuss unity, shared history, and a common future within the Turkish world. Organized by the Trabzon Metropolitan Municipality and TÜRKSOY, the event featured speakers including Trabzon Governor Tahir Şahin, Mayor Ahmet Metin Genç, and Kyrgyzstan’s Ambassador to Ankara, Ruslan Kazakbaev.
Former Turkish National Team and Trabzonspor coach Şenol Güneş addressed the youth, sharing personal experiences regarding leadership and resilience.
