Özet:

Turkic peoples are settled over a vast area from the Arctic and Pacific oceans to the Mediterranean Sea and the Balkans. On the territory of the modern Russian Federation: in the Volga region, in the Urals, in Southern Siberia and the Altai Territory, as well as in the North Caucasus, many Turkic indigenous peoples live (Tatars, Chuvashs, Bashkirs, Khakassians, Kumyks, Nogais, Karachais, Balkars, etc.). In addition to them, today in Russia there live representatives of large Turkic peoples who have their own historical homeland (Uzbeks, Kazakhs, Azerbaijanis, etc.). In addition, Turkic-speaking peoples also live in Russia, for whom Russia is not a historical homeland, but they do not have their own statehood anywhere (Ahyskin Turks, etc.). Only 11 out of 20 Turkic peoples living in Russia have state education with the status of a republic within the Russian Federation. Significant changes in the history of peoples, including Turkic ones, occurred in the late 1980s - early 1990s. Along with Russian, 31 titular peoples of Russia received the status of a state language in the Russian Federation, including 10 Turkic languages: Altai, Bashkir, Karachay-Balkar, Kumyk, Nogai, Tatar, Tuvan, Khakass, Chuvash and Yakut. According to the Law of the Russian Federation "On the Languages of the Russian Federation" and the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the Russian Federation guarantees to all its peoples the right to preserve their native language, to create conditions for its preservation and development. The state language of the Russian Federation throughout its territory is Russian. Republics have the right to establish their state languages in accordance with the Constitution of the Russian Federation. How this is performed and the position of Turkic languages in Russia is discussed in this article.
