The Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency was established in 1992 in order to support the restructuring, integration and development processes of ex-Soviet Turkic republics.
The agency carries out operations in more than 30 countries, primarily in Turkey's immediate neighborhood but also throughout the world. Meanwhile, Turkey's ambassador to Chad, Ahmet Kavas, announced that the agency would open a new office in the country's capital of N'Djamena.
