First sources of the history of Kazakh-Turkish relations

Abstract

The researches of Turkic history were formed within the framework of world historical thought. It should be noted that Turkish civilization had its own peculiarities, when the predominance of Eurocentrism concepts is taken into consideration while structuring world history content. The purpose of such study is not to distinguish Turkic history from world history, but to focus on the true history content of the Turkic peoples formed in it. The main goal of this paper is to determine the historical background of Kazakh-Turkish political and cultural ties. The scientific importance of the data bases of kinship relations, which began in the Middle Ages, has special significance in determining the direction of modern Kazakh-Turkish relations formed during independence years. It is known that the Republic of Turkey is one of the countries with which the Republic of Kazakhstan has established the closest integration during independence years. This paper analyzes the sources of early history of Kazakh-Turkish relations. Conclusions were drawn analyzing the archival data about historical background of friendship and strategic partnership between two countries. One of the important terms for the scientific reconsideration of the history of Kazakh-Turkish political and cultural relations is the value of scientific sources complex. Sources containing scientific, objective information and data are the main means of interpreting historical events and phenomena, as well as restoring the content of history. At present time, evidence of Kazakh-Turkish relations has been found in the archives of Turkey and is being submitted for scientific circulation. It requires thematic, chronological and genre grouping of data. This paper analyzes the fact that this first diplomatic relationship was followed by Kazakh-Turkish political ties. Evidence suggests that during the disintegration of the Kazakh Khanate and the modernization of the Russian Empire, the colonial power continued to disrupt relations between two countries. In particular, this connection continued in the religious-spiritual and cultural-educational directions through the informal political, religious-educational activities of individual historical figures. The article analyzes a number of archival and press data and presents them for scientific circulation.
