  • Turanism, an Aspect of Turkish Nationalism 23 Did, Turkic Ethnicism in Contrast to the Theocratic Interracialism of the Community of the Faithful Jümmetj
    T U R A N I S M AN ASPECT OF TURKISH NATIONALISM In the last two decades of the nineteenth century, as is generally known, the Ottoman Empire drifted away from the British orbit and came increasingly under the influence of Germany. It was the time when the British Foreign Office, after half a century of adhering to the principle of the integrity of the Ottoman Empire as a barrier to Russian expansionism, began to tolerate, or even support, the nationalist movement of the Balkan peoples and their claims against Turkey. At the beginning of Gladstone’s administration, in 1880, Montenegro, thanks to British as well as to Rus­ sian favor, acquired an outlet at Dulcigno (Ulcinj);1 a year later Abd-ul- Hamid II was compelled to cede Thessaly to Greece;2 on several occasions thereafter London registered an interest in behalf of the Cretans and the Armenians and reminded the sultan of his obligation to introduce reforms according to Articles 23 and 61 of the Berlin Treaty.3 No less important in Turkish eyes were Great Britain’s attempts to carve off Ottoman territories or to establish a foothold in the periphery of the declining empire. The retention of Cyprus by the British and the occupation of Egypt, the former in tune with Greek aspirations,4 5the latter in overt opposition to Egyptian nationalism,6 were equally severe blows to 1.

  • 1. the Origin of the Cumans
    Christianity among the Cumans Roger Finch 1. The Origin of the Cumans The question of where the Cumans originated has been the object of much study but a definitive answer to this cannot yet be given. The Cumans are known in Russian historical sources as Polovtsy and in Arabic sources generally as Kipchak Qipchak, although the Arabic author al-Marwazi writing about 1120 referred to them as Qûn, which corresponds to the Hungarian name for the Cumans, Kun. The Russian name for these people, Polovtsy < Slav. polovyi pale; pale yellow is supposedly a translation of the name Quman in Tur- kic, but there is no word in any Turkic dialect with this meaning; the only word in Turkic which at all approximates this meaning and has a similar form is OT qum sand, but this seems more an instance of folk etymology than a likely derivation. There is a word kom in Kirghiz, kaum in Tatar, meaning people, but these are from Ar. qaum fellow tribes- men; kinfolk; tribe, nation; people. The most probable reflexes of the original word in Tur- kic dialects are Uig., Sag. kun people, OT kun female slave and Sar. Uig. kun ~ kun slave; woman < *kümün ~ *qumun, cf. Mo. kümün, MMo. qu’un, Khal. xun man; person; people, and this is the most frequent meaning of ethnonyms in the majority of the worlds languages. The Kipchaks have been identified as the remainder of the Türküt or Türk Empire, which was located in what is the present-day Mongolian Republic, and which collapsed in 740. There are inscriptions engraved on stone monuments, located mainly in the basin of the Orkhon River, in what has been termed Turkic runic script; these inscriptions record events from the time the Türküt were in power and, in conjunction with information recorded in the Chinese annals of the time about them, we have a clearer idea of who these people were during the time their empire flourished than after its dissolution.

Tokharistan – is the historical and cultural region of Central Asia in the early Middle Ages situated on the top course of the Amudarya and covered the area of current Southern Uzbekistan, Southern Tajikistan and Northern Afghanistan. In that period Tokharistan was divided into two parts with the river Amudarya – Southern and Northern Tokharistan. During the period of the early Middle Ages Northern Tokharistan represented itself as a historical and cultural region, occupying the areas on the right handed banks of the bottom basins of Amudarya and covered a range of countries such as Chaganin, Termez, Huttal, Kobadian, Bakhsh, Shuman, Aharun, Kumed and so on. Obviously, its direct neighbor was on the north-west was Southern Sogd. Natural borders were created between these two regions by the Hissar mountain ranges, and through one of these ranges was a hollow way, which was mentioned in ancient scluptures as Temir kapig, and in Persian sources as Dar-i akhanin, in Arabic documents as Bab al-hadid which was deciphered as “Iron gates” – the only way connecting these two countries, Sogd and Tokharistan.

  • Introduction to Uyghurs & East Turkistan
    12 Nov 2010. London. Online version of this article available at: http://www.uyghurensemble.co.uk/en-html/introduction-to-Uyghurs.pdf _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ A BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO UYGHURS AND EAST TURKISTAN ALL ABOUT THE UYGHURS . Uyghur (also spelled Uighur, Uygur) means "unity" or "alliance”, it is pronounced [ÖY-ghur or Uigu:R]. They are a Turkic ethnic people. Pre-history Uyghurs: the name Uyghur (Uighur) appeared for the first time 17,000 years ago in the pre-historic period with The Great Uighur Empire in the Continent of Mu during the Tertiary Era Belonged to the Continent of Mu1. James Churchward describes in his book “the great Uighur Empire” as the largest and most important colonial empire belonging to Mu, the Empire of the Sun. "Next to Mu herself, the Uighur Empire was the largest empire the world has ever known." . Uyghur history can be divided into four distinct phases: Pre-Imperial (300 BC – AD 630), Imperial (AD 630–840), Idiqut (AD 840–1200), and Mongol (AD 1209–1600), with perhaps a fifth modern phase running from the death of the Silk Road in AD 1600 until the present. Most people know that Tibet was occupied by China in 1950s but how many know that the Uyghurs' country East Turkistan (Xinjiang 'new frontier' in Chinese) was occupied by China in 1949? 1 These theories are explained in Hans Stefan Santesson’s published book in 1970 entitled “Understanding Mu: The Uighurs” Chapter 10 pages 96-100. Hans Stefan Santesson has proved these theories according to James Churchward’s book “Lost Continent of Mu Motherland of Man” (1926) Chapter 5 pages 105-110.

  • The Roots and Genesis of Pan - Turkism and Ethnic Conflict – an Overview
    189 THE ROOTS AND GENESIS OF PAN - TURKISM AND ETHNIC CONFLICT – AN OVERVIEW HAIDAR, Mansura HİNDİSTAN/INDIA/ИНДИЯ ABSTRACT The collective identity whether in the garb of religion, or in the form of territorial, tribal, ethnic or any other kind of micro or macro entity had all along been the prized possession of an individual’s psyche in the complex story of human development. It is in the light of this assumption that the paper seeks to bring to light the emblems and traces of origin, roots and genesis of Pan-Turkism –commonly believed to be a nineteenth century phenomenon though flickering in the historical accounts in different hues since time immemorial.. To be sure, the ethnic and tribal identification of Turks as a homogenous people was never disturbed despite the fact that they were scattered over a large area and often appeared in history under their micro definition. Pan Turanianism so vehemently emphasized by Zia Gokalp, a great exponent of Pan Turkism could be indicative of such feelings in recent centuries but the facts that these features did exist earlier also and Pan -Turkism was in continuum with its roots in hoary past had seldom been so clearly seen and realized. The consciousness of belonging to a particular group –the mutual rapport in the name of oneness of Turkish or Turanian origin, rivalries against other such homogenous entities (eg. Tajiks or Iranians) at all levels and in court politics, the pride in their respective racial superiority, contemptuous evaluation of each other in the pages of history are symptomatic of presence of Pan Turkism centuries before this peculiar term denoted its characteristics.

The process of world globalization requires Turkic-speaking nations of common root to unite in social- economy, cultural-spiritual points. Unification of intellectual values of the Turkic world will roll general Turkic mind and being, consolidate spiritual balance and historical integrity between Turkic nations, raise social-cultural potential of modern Turkic nations, strengthen historical roots, and justify special place of the Turkic civilization among human civilization. Additionally, if we don’t hold historical root of Kazakh nationin the situation of encountering of international civilizations there is a risk of spiritual-cultural development’s going wrong way. There are nations who couldn’t follow caravan of time and step into new era with the rest of the world. This worldwide process which can have good or bad influence on the future of our independent country requires us to be exceptionally responsible for every action related to our nation. The independence of our country gives us opportunity to restudy common cultural heritage of Turkic nations, as well as to know its true nature, use them for the benefit of nation, reconsider and analyzespiritual values based on those relics.

  • Chinese Influences in Anatolian Turkish Art
    International Seminar for UNESCO Integral Study of the Silk Roads: Roads of Dialogue: “The influence of the Silk Roads on Turkish Culture and Art”. 30, October, 1990. Izmir, Turkey. CHINESE INFLUENCES IN ANATOLIAN TURKISH ART Prof.DR.Gontil ONEY Exposure to Chinese culture of our ancestors, who dominated different regions of Central Asia for centuries has certainly enriched cultural life on both sides and provided new dimensions. Further strengthening of ties between the Chinese and Turks occurs when Chinese rulers ask for the help of Uygur Turks to quell a series of insurrections in the 8th century A.D. The friendly relations between China and neighboring Turks are further bolstered by the conquest of the Mongolian Empire by Uygur Turks around the middle of the eighth century. After 715, the rulers of Fergane, Samarkand and Baktriana asked for and got support from the Chinese army in their fight against the Arab armies. These reciprocal political relationships resulted in increased trade along the "Silk Road” with goods coming all the way from the Far East to the West, to Anatolia and Europe. The valuable merchandise and art objects from China thus become fashionable. Gifts from other rulers, battle spoils and trade goods in the form of Chinese porcelain, silk, carpets, metal objects and miniatures have affected the art of Islam. We come across the first Central Asian and Far Eastern effects in Islamic art in the city of Samarra built by the Abbasids in Mesopotamia for Turkish soldiers they brought from Turkestan. The extension of this cultural synthesis which started in the ninth century is observed in Anatolian Seljuk art during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries.
