Abstract:

In the second half of the 19th century, the territories of Turkistan under Russian and Chinese occupation lived in the hardest days of history. While the Uzbek, the Kazak and the Kyrgyz were fighting against the Russian sovereignty in Western Turkistan, the Uighurs, the Dungan (Döngen-Huizu) and other Turkish and Muslim peoples in Eastern Turkistan were fighting similarly against the Chinese armies. During this period, it was observed that Russia and Britain, due to the imperialist policies in the eastern Turkish territory, were actively involved. In this article, the archive documentation of Yakup Bek, who founded the Yedişehir State from Hokant Hanlığı to Kazakhstan, will be examined in the light of the struggle for independence in Eastern Turkistan and the work of the Kazakh and Kyrgyz Turkish people who have been forced to migrate from the territory of Western Turkistan to this struggle.
