Show answer
Answer: C. The Organization of Turkic States (renamed from the Turkic Council in November 2021) had, as of 2022, five full members: Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkey and Uzbekistan, with Hungary and Turkmenistan as observers. Armenia, Croatia and Romania are not members. So 2 and 5.
Watch for: Students include European or Caucasus neighbours of Turkey, but membership is based on Turkic language and culture.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Wrong because Armenia and Romania are not members.
- B. Wrong because Armenia and Croatia are not members.
- D. Wrong because Croatia and Romania are not members.
