The festival has brought together representatives of Turkic countries – scholars, writers, publishers, and cultural figures – with the aim of strengthening spiritual unity, as well as literary and cultural ties.

Particular attention in the festival's program is devoted to each participating country. Throughout the week, days dedicated to Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Turkey, Turkmenistan, and the Republic of Turkey will be held. Turkmenistan's Day will also feature book presentations, poetry recitals, and cultural performances showcasing the rich literary heritage and distinct identity of the Turkmen people.
