Security cooperation in the OTS: first step towards TÜRKPOL may be taken in Ankara
The founding agreement of a Crime Combat Council, which will form the basis of TÜRKPOL, modelled on Interpol and Europol, is expected to be signed at the Ankara Summit.
Security cooperation is also expected to come to the fore at the Ankara Summit of the Organization of Turkic States. As the first step towards “TÜRKPOL”, a law-enforcement cooperation body modelled on Interpol and Europol, the founding agreement of a Crime Combat Council is planned to be signed.
The council aims to strengthen coordination among member states on organized crime, terrorism, drug trafficking, irregular migration and illegal betting.
Proposals such as enabling citizens to travel with chipped ID cards and setting up joint passport control points at airports will also be on the agenda.
