HISTORICAL CONTINUITY: FROM KARLUQ-KARAHANIDS TO THE KAZAKH KHANATE

Abstract

Karluk and Carahanid medieval Turkic states, successively replacing one another, form an integral part of the legendary and heroic history of our independent Kazakh state. Interference of agricultural-urban culture and nomadic pastoralism, amounting a comprehensive medieval economy of the region of study, led to the creation of such a developed Institute of the State in Central Asia at that time, as the Karluk and Carahanid state. This process of ethnic and cultural development had a direct impact on the ethnic formation of Kazakh state.
