Abstract:

Turkological researches gained speed and intensity in the period of Republic. A significant branch of Tturkology studies was in the field of history and culture of Turkic groups outside of Turkey. Continued presence of Türk Ocağı and its press organ Türk Yurdu during transition from Otoman Empire to Republic and in Turkology Institute and its press organTürkiyat Mecmuası we can see studies about Turkish world history and culture. Also we can see articles on this topic in Turkist magazines which started to publish from 1930s and gained intensity during 19391945. In academic field, A. Inan and Saadet Çağatay gave lessons and published books on Turkic dialects including Kazakh in Ankara University Faculty of Language, Geography and History which opened in 1936. In the period between 1961 and 1991, the Institute for Research of Turkic Culture and Foundation for Research on Turkic World conducted important researches about Foreign Turks within the framework of history and culture of Kazakhs. After the collapse of Soviet Union there was huge intensification on studies about history and culture of other Turkic nations including Kazakhs by means of official organs and ministries, assosiations, foundations and press houses. During this period, there were studies of general nature conducted by Turkish scientists related to history and culture of Kazakhs. Over 80 years in the period of the Republic there has been a significant accumulation about history and culture of Kazakhs by copyright and translation works. There seems no obstacle to make more detailed, deeper studies and monographs about Kazakh history and culture
