HOW THE TURKS OF TURKEY DID PERCEIVED THE MUSLIM KAZAKHS OF CENTRAL ASIA IN THE 20TH CENTURY?
Özet
The history of cultural and politic of the Muslim Kazakhs of Central Asia was not known enough by intellectual circles of Turkey in the early of 20th century. When 'Kazakh nation' is mentioned in intellectual circles in Turkey, Christian Slavic Kazakhs come to mind rather than the Muslim Kazakhs of Central Asia. Turkish nationalists and Turanians were mostly interested in the political and cultural history, language of Muslim Kazakhs in the context of Turkism and Turanism in Ottoman Turkey. In the time of the Ottoman Empire, this interest has been originated from Islam because Ottoman Sultans were the sole legal representative of the Prophet Muhammad in the World. The political situation of Muslim Kazakh of Central Asia was followed by Ottoman governments in Istanbul.
