There is an association of Turkic countries called Turkic Council.
Apart from that, are there any proposals from the Turkic countries in Central Asia for becoming a federation?

If you exchanged "federation" with a more radical aim to "unite" all Turks, you would come up with the Grey Wolves. – ccprog Dec 08 '22 at 23:34

I don't think so.
Kazakhstan is the richest one and also only partially located in Central Asia. Also, lots of Russians and Russian speakers.
Turkmenistan. A North Korea-style dictatorship with cash issues. Will not open to anybody.
Uzbekistan. An industrial and demographic power of Central Asia and therefore distrusted by everybody else.
Tajikistan. Not Turkic - a Persian-speaking country. Also very poor.
Kyrgyzstan. Don't know anything about them, frankly.
Some of them actively hate each other to the point of military conflict.
I won't expect any kind of (secular) federation.

"Kyrgyzstan. Don't know anything about them, frankly." It's probably more useful then to leave that part out of the answer. :) – NoDataDumpNoContribution Dec 07 '22 at 14:14
