Furthermore, TÜRKSOY's work is considered in terms of intangible cultural heritage (ICH). The approaches of Intangible Cultural Heritage Seminars organized by TÜRKSOY member countries aiming to safeguard and support the common values of Turkish world to the international arena are focused. Decisions made and carried out by TÜRKSOY in these seminars, first held in Ankara and lastly in Ufa, are evaluated considering successful and inefficient parts of these decisions.
