The TAKM, or Organization of the Eurasian Law Enforcement Agencies with Military Status (Turkish: Avrasya Askerî Statülü Kolluk Kuvvetleri Teşkilatı, is an intergovernmental military law enforcement (gendarmerie) organization of three Turkic countries (Turkey, Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan) and, formerly, Mongolia. The initialism TAKM came from the founder countries' names.[1]
In 2014, Mongolia refused to sign the foundation agreement and quit the organization, while Kazakhstan applied for membership, which led to the decision to reestablish the organisation on a new basis.[3]
