Özet:

After the 1917 conflict in Russia, the Turkish people in Moscow and St. Petersburg, who had to work for education, gathered together to establish an independent Turkish state. Some of the Turkish leaders who failed to succeed in these efforts were forced to leave the country as a result of the Soviet government’s increasingly repressive and exclusive status. Some of them were organized in Turkey and especially in Europe. From this time the national struggle for Turkey’s independence began. Mustafa Çokayoğlu and the other Turkish lights were the supporters of the establishment of the Republic of Turkistan, instead of dividing into Kazakh-Kirgiz-Uzbek. The nationalists who prefer the way to tell the situation of Turkistan and the Turkish people to the world’s public, decided to conduct their ideological wars in the countries they went through the press. In this area, the Age Turkistan (1929-1939) magazine, published under Mustafa Çokayoğlu, has the characteristic of being the most comprehensive magazine in which the transformations and changes that occurred in Turkistan in the process of the dissolution of the Tsarish Russia and the establishment of the Soviet Union are described. The magazine, which corresponds to the years in which the Soviet policies were formed, has the characteristic of being the voice of the Turkish people who lived in the mosque for 10 years. In this article, we will evaluate the location of the Turkish Republic, the purpose, method, goal, content, mission, area of activity and the historical perspective of the Turkish press.

Özet:

After the 1917 Revolution in Russia, the Turkistani people who were in Petersburg and Moscow, both for education and training, came together and tried to establish an independent Turkistan State. Some of the Turkestan intellectuals who were unable to succeed in these initiatives had to leave the country as the Soviet administration had become increasingly oppressive and exclusionist. Some of them organized in Turkey, especially in Europe. From this period, the period of national struggle for the independence of Turkistan has started. Mustafa Çokayoğlu and other Turkish intellectuals were supporters of establishing the Turkestan Republic instead of being divided as Kazakh-Kirghiz- Uzbek. The nationalist intellectuals, who preferred explaining the situation of Turkistan and Turkistani people to the world public opinion, have decided to carry out ideological battles in countries that they visited through press. From this point of view, the Yash Turkestan journal (1929-1939), published under the leadership of Mustafa Çokayoğlu, has the feature of being the most comprehensive magazine about the transformations and changes that took place in Turkistan in the process of the destruction of Tsarist Russia and the establishment of the Soviet Union. The journal, which coincided with the years when Soviet policies were established, has the characteristic of being the voices of the Turkistani people who have lived as immigrants for 10 years. In this article, the purpose of publication of Yash Turkestan, its method, objective, content, mission, impact area and position in terms of the history of Turkish press will be evaluated.
