Özet:

The term Silk Road which is used firstly by German geologist Ferdinand von Richthofen, refers to a giant trade route that extended from China into India, Iran, Anatolia and Rome. Communities across the Anatolian landscape hoped to join actively in this route in various periods, especially Anatolian Seljuks, by planning conquests for economic purposes and paying attention to the continuity of trade in the conquered lands, and took significant steps in maintaining economic stability. They tried to ensure a free zone for trade by signing trade treaties with other countries in an effort to participate in global trade, by building caravanserai and bridges to secure trade flow, and by setting up markets to offer convenient trade for traders coming to Anatolia. These efforts enriched Anatolia both economically and culturally.
