Nobel laureate Aziz Sancar ready to lecture students from Turkic states
Former Secretary-General of the Organization of Turkic States Kubanychbek Omuraliev met Aziz Sancar in Istanbul. The scientist expressed readiness to speak to students at universities across the Turkic world.
Kubanychbek Omuraliev, a Kyrgyz diplomat and former Secretary-General of the Organization of Turkic States (OTS), met Professor Aziz Sancar, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry laureate, in Istanbul on Sunday.
Omuraliev said they discussed decisions adopted at the recent OTS summit of heads of state, the development of science and education in the Turkic world, and improving the quality of the Orhun academic exchange program.
Lectures for young people
Sancar said he was ready to lecture students at universities in the Turkic states. Omuraliev said the aim was to strengthen friendly ties among Turkic peoples and described the meeting as productive.
The Orhun program provides for exchanges of students and faculty members among universities in OTS member states: Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Türkiye and Uzbekistan.
Change in OTS leadership
The meeting took place shortly after the post of OTS secretary-general passed to Uzbekistan's representative Mirvohid Azimov. Omuraliev had led the organization's secretariat since 2022.
Aziz Sancar received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2015 for his research into the mechanisms of DNA repair. The scientist works at the University of North Carolina in the United States and regularly visits Türkiye.
