    Before Krygstan and Kazakstan sit down with these Turkish/Azeri animals at the same table, they should first look into their own history and ponder whether they are “Turkic speaking” due to natural cultural origination or whether at some point in time, they indeed had their own language and way of life and became “Turkic speaking” via the policies of subjugation, murder, and intimidation during Turkey’s “Ottomon” days.
    Kyrgiz people are very kind and intelligent and have a more mongolian lineage and far east heritage as oppose to a Turkish one, whatever Turkish influence and “Turkish speaking” there is in that nation is due to a policy of rape and molestation enacted by Ottoman and Seljuk Turks. Similar circumstances can be said of the people of Kazakstan, their cultural was destroyed and replaced with “Turkish speech”. Before sitting down with Turkey, both of these nations should look into their past and where they came from and what these fellow “Turkic speaking” Turks mongrels have taken from them. . .

        Elchin at his best again, I love this guy.
        Random dude insults a whole people. Elching calls the ethnicity the random dude belongs to uncivilized because the random dude insulted his (Elchins) ethnicity.
        See where this is flawed? He sure as hell doesn’t. :]

      Dear Norin Radd,the `leaders` of former USSR -stan countries do not represent their people but the former `communists` and their kgbs .And it is very far-fetched to call the hundreds of tribes these countries consist nations.Its just an example of Money talks, bull,pardon, turkey walks.

      Same could be said of the so-called Arab countries. Outside oof the Arabian penesula, all have been subjected to Arabization with the use of the sword.

      Yeah, they still have not given up on the idea of Pan-Turanism/Pan-Turkism, and that means Armenia can not let its guard down. It can never let its guard down until Turkey is made to pay!

    The Turkish and Azeri Presidents staged a photography session of several other Altaic Turkic “brethren” Presidents from Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan in the Armenian territory of Nakhichevan, though it is under Azerbaijani occupation. This is the very motive that led the Young Turks to conduct the Armenian Genocide…to unite all Turkic speaking Central and East Asians under one Turkish Empire with its capitol in Istanbul or Ankara. The Armenians were in their way, so they did a genocide.

    Do armenians have pan-armenian games? if yes, why is the pan-Turkist summit bothering you?

      Are you serious? By the way, if it wasn’t for certain events in the beginning of the 20th century, there wouldn’t be Pan-Armenian games. Because pretty much all Armenians would be at one location.

    Norin, by using such racist language regarding Azeris/Turks, you prove only your own inferiority (your personal, that is. Not that of your own nation, which merits a lot of respect, even if we are enemies).

      Whoever this guy is, he has figured out what makes Elchin look like a hypocrite.
      However, I believe that if a certain ethnicity’s history can be described as savage and barbaric, its the Turkish, so lets not be too politically correct here, ok?

    Its good to promote culture. I seriously doubt Kazakhstan really cares too much about pan-turkism. They have oil, they have a strong industrial/science connection with Russia, they are part of a strong security agreemenent known as CSTO and part of the SCO.

    Ahmet, for the obvious reason that the western Armenian community was butchered in the name of PanTuranist intentions. Imperialism and racism as its trademark.

    Compliance status

    We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.

    To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.

    This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.

    Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.

    If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email

    Screen-reader and keyboard navigation

    Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:

    1. Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.

      These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.

    2. Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.

      Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

    Disability profiles supported in our website

    • Epilepsy Safe Mode: this profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures that result from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.
    • Visually Impaired Mode: this mode adjusts the website for the convenience of users with visual impairments such as Degrading Eyesight, Tunnel Vision, Cataract, Glaucoma, and others.
    • Cognitive Disability Mode: this mode provides different assistive options to help users with cognitive impairments such as Dyslexia, Autism, CVA, and others, to focus on the essential elements of the website more easily.
    • ADHD Friendly Mode: this mode helps users with ADHD and Neurodevelopmental disorders to read, browse, and focus on the main website elements more easily while significantly reducing distractions.
    • Blindness Mode: this mode configures the website to be compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen-reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.
    • Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor-Impaired): this profile enables motor-impaired persons to operate the website using the keyboard Tab, Shift+Tab, and the Enter keys. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

    Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments

    1. Font adjustments – users, can increase and decrease its size, change its family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
    2. Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over 7 different coloring options.
    3. Animations – epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
    4. Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
    5. Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.
    6. Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine that is linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others.
    7. Additional functions – we provide users the option to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.

    Browser and assistive technology compatibility

    We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.

    Notes, comments, and feedback

    Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
