Short enough to give whole. No 155, on the Colombian earthquake, 10 August. Two came on 11 August, No 156 on Hakan Fidan's visit to Libya and No 157 on a Colombian statement about the Golan Heights. Then No 158, on Fidan's visit to Egypt, 12 August. Releases below 154 do not render on the ministry's own index, so this is the run since the deaths rather than the full month.
Nothing has come from the presidency or the communications directorate either, and Anadolu and TRT carried the strike itself without any Turkish official response attached to it. The embassy boards are the one channel the desk could not read: the Tashkent mission's announcements page returned 403.
Nor has the Organization of Turkic States, whose newsfeed has carried nothing since 10 August, when its secretary-general met Japan's vice-minister for foreign affairs.
Timing sharpens it. The Great Hun-Turk Kurultay opens tomorrow and runs to 16 August, and Uzbekistan is its guest of honour.
That event needs a correction to our own file. It is not a Turkish gathering and Ankara does not convene it. It is held on the Bugac puszta in Bacs-Kiskun county, Hungary, organised by the Hungarian Turan Alliance, and its organisers describe it as the largest heritage event of Carpathian Basin Hungarians and the largest world meeting of peoples of Hun and Turkic consciousness. Turkish institutional involvement is sponsorship: TURKSOY this year, TIKA at the eighth edition. The OTS secretary-general and the leadership of the International Turkic Academy are expected to attend.
Its edition number is disputed, and the disagreement runs the wrong way. The OTS calendar says tenth. Hungarian organisers and the Turkish press say ninth. Two of the three, including the body that actually stages it, say ninth.
The organisation's record is unreliable elsewhere in the same way. Its own summit history page ends with Bishkek in November 2024 as the eleventh, and it omits Gabala on 7 October 2025, which was the twelfth. Any ordinal taken off that page is a year out.
That bears on Ankara. No source corroborates a date. Erdogan placed it in autumn 2026 without dates on 22 June; Hurriyet Daily News listed it on 1 January with host city and dates to be announced; the OTS calendar carries ministerials through September and early October and no heads of state summit at all. The 29 and 30 October entry in circulation stays provisional.
Two of the three, including the body that actually stages it, say ninth.
New to the file, and it does not change that count: an informal heads of state summit was held at Turkistan in Kazakhstan on 15 May 2026, on artificial intelligence and digital development. Ankara would still be thirteenth.
No delegation from any of the five Central Asian states or from Azerbaijan has been confirmed by name for Bugac.
