As Billig states, “the term banal nationalism is introduced to cover ideological habits which enable established nations of the West to be repro- duced.”1 Some signs of nation- hood are not recognized as such by the population because they are “so familiar, so continual.”2 In Turkmenistan, national crafts seem to be the main reminders of national belonging.

Received: November 27, 2014 Accepted: December 10, 2014 Online Published: March 20, 2015 doi:10.5539/ass.v11n8p155 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/ass.v11n8p155 Abstract The article aims to consider world vision of medieval (VI-IX centuries) Turkic tribes on nature and human being and the issues, which impact on the emergence of their world image on nature, human being as well as their perceptions in this case. In this regard, the paper analyzes the concepts on territory, borders and bound in the Turks` society, the indicator of the boundaries for Turkic tribes and the way of expression the world concept on nature and human being of above stated nations. The research findings show that Turks as their descendants Kazakhs had a distinctive vision on environment and the relationship between human being and nature. Human being and nature were conceived as a single organism. Relationship of Turkic mythic outlook with real historical tradition and a particular geographical location captures the scale of the era of the birth of new cultural schemes. It was reflected in the various historical monuments, which characterizes the Turkic civilization as a complex system.

Dr. Mehmetdurdı SARIHANOV Türkmenistan Bilim ve Teknik Yüksek Kurulu Mahtumkulu Dil ve Edebiyat Enstitüsü Başkan Vekili ÖZET XVII-XVIII. asır Türkmen klâsik şairleri Andalip, Şakandî, Şeydaî eserlerinde Oğuz Alfabesi hakkında ilgi çekici bilgiler verirken özellikle Andalip bilimsel özellik taşıyan görüşler ortaya koymuştur. Andalip "Oğuzname"adlı eserinde Oğuz Han'ı medenî kahraman olarak tanıtarak onun "tagma alfabeyi yani bir dönem için hem damga hem de alfabe olarak hizmet eden işaretleri bulduğunu kıvançla ifade ediyor. Türkmen klâsik şairlerinin eski alfabemiz hakkında ne tür bilgilere sahip oldukları veya bu konuda nasıl fikir yürüttükleri henüz açık değil. Fakat halkının muhteşem geçmişiyle iftihar eden Andalip, değerli eserini yazmak için hem halk arasındaki, hem de resmi tarihlerdeki Oğuznameleri inceleyerek bunlardan neticeler çıkarmış ve Oğuzların tarihini yazmıştır. Klâsik şairlerimizin özellikle Andalip'in eserinde belirtilen ve diğer ilmi çalışmalarda yer alan bilgiler çerçevesinde bundan birkaç yıl önce damga alfabeyi tekrar gündeme getirmek konusunda girişimlerde bulunan âlimler oldu. Andalip ile Şakandî 24 harfli, Şeydaî ise 25 harfli alfabeden söz ediyor. Türkmen klâsik şairlerinin gündeme getirdikleri alfabe, aslında Kaşgarlı Mahmut'un zamanında Uygur yazısı adını almaya başlayan Türk alfabesidir. Divanü Lügati't-Türk'te Türk yazısının 25(18+7) harfi olduğu belirtilirken, Kaşgarlı Mahmut, Uygurların yazısından söz ederken Türk alfabesi ile ilgili bilgilere başvurarak

  • Equestrian Complex of the President of Turkmenistan
    Equestrian Complex of the President of Turkmenistan Divine horses, equine aristocrats, fabled steeds and effulgent diamonds - such flowery epithets have been lavished upon that unique equine breed - the Akhal-Teke. Prized by Alexander the Great, Darius the Great, Genghis Khan, Roman emperors, Marco Polo, and many others, the Akhal-Tekes have served people for over 3,000 years. These are one of the most beautiful, elegant and proud horses in the world. Its endurance and resistance to heat are second to none. The Akhal-Tekes come from the Kara-Kum Desert in Turkmenistan. It is a place for the toughest people and equines. The Turkmens would never have survived without the Akhal-Teke, and vice versa. Turkmens were the first desert people to produce a horse ideal for the tough desert conditions. Akhal-Teke horses are thought to be one of the oldest surviving horse breeds. Today's Akhal-Teke is a race, sports and endurance horse, and a riveting circus performer. The Akhal-Teke takes its name from a Turmen tribe Teke living in the Akhal oasis. The Turkmen horse-breeders have been perfecting the appearance and muscular system of the thoroughbred racers for ages in concordance with traditions and customs of their ancestors. Traditions of selection and feeding, reproduction and training of horses were handed over from generation to generation. A Turkmen has never separated himself from a horse. A horse was a family member; it was cherished and valued higher than one’s own life. A profile of Yanardag, a stallion known for its beautiful appearance and great racing qualities, is in the center of the State Emblem of Turkmenistan.

  • The Anglo-Russian Rivalry, Russia's Annexation of Merv and The
    The Anglo-Russian Rivalry, Russia’s Annexation of Merv and the Consequences of the Annexation on Turkmens Assist.Prof.Dr. Memet YETİŞGİN∗ Abstract: The annexation of Merv into Russia in 1884 was one of the most important stages in Russian expansionist policies and in the Anglo-Russian rivalry in Turkistan. It brought all the Turkmens—today living in Turkmenistan—under the Russian rule. The British who thought that the Russians had secret plans and goals towards India became extremely alarmed in every Russian move in Central Asia. Because of their fears of Russian expansion, the British sent agents to the region, adopted an adversarial diplomatıc stance via-a-vis Russians and, from time to time, invaded Afghanistan and Iran during the nineteenth century. The Anglo-Russian rivalry that has been called as “the Great Game” reached a stage of open conflict during Russian annexation of Merv. The Turkmens who had suffered under the militaristic and corrupt Russian rule did not immediately change their traditional life style. However, their cities and fertile lands began to be occupied by Russian and other immigrants. When the British and the Russians agreed to draw a border between Turkistan and Afghanistan, some Turkmens were left under Afghan and Iranian domination. Key words: The Turkmen, the Russians, the British, Turkmenistan, Merv, Central Asia, Iran, Afghanistan, the Turks and the Anglo- Russian Rivalry Few Remarks about Russia’s Invasions in Central Asia: Russian expansion into Central Asia had a long history starting in the late sixteenth

  • Turkmenistan
    Turkmenistan FINDINGS : Severe religious freedom violations and official harassment of religious adherents persist in Turkmenistan. Despite a few limited reforms undertaken by President Berdimuhamedov since 2007, the country’s laws, policies, and practices continue to violate international human rights norms, including those on freedom of religion or belief. Police raids and other harassment of registered and unregistered religious groups continue. The highly repressive 2003 religion law remains in force, causing major difficulties for religious groups to function legally, and has justified police raids and arrests. Turkmen law does not allow a civilian alternative to military service, and six Jehovah’s Witnesses are imprisoned for conscientious objection. In light of these severe violations, USCIRF continues to recommend in 2012 that the U.S. government designate Turkmenistan as a “country of particular concern,” or CPC. The Commission has recommended CPC designation for Turkmenistan since 2000, but the State Department has never followed this recommendation. Under the late President Niyazov, Turkmenistan was among the world’s most repressive and isolated states. Niyazov’s personality cult dominated public life, and there is evidence that President Berdimuhamedov is building a cult to justify his own dominance, but without religious overtones. While President Berdimuhamedov has ordered a few limited reforms and released the former chief mufti from prison in 2007, since then his government has not adopted essential systemic legal reforms on freedom of religion or belief and other human rights. Moreover, the Turkmen government has reinstituted restrictive policies regarding education, foreign travel, dual citizenship, and telecommunications that have again led to the country’s extreme isolation.
