Foreword
Dear Readers,
We present you the 105th issue of Bilig. In this issue, there are seven articles and a book presentation, which shed light on the current problems of the Turkic world and deal with the Turkish cultural heritage. We believe that these studies will contribute to the increase of the visibility and prestige of the scientific production of the Turkic world in the common scientific pool of humanity.
The year 2023 has a different meaning since it is the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Republic of Turkey. The Republic of Turkey, which is a century-old sycamore, is a country that not only has political, military, and economic power, but also guides regional and global policies with its ever-growing human and cultural wealth. The disintegration of the USSR in 1991 and the emergence of new independent Turkic states were an important turning point in the development of the Republic of Turkey. When it comes to Turkey, it is no longer a country with a surface area of 780 thousand square kilometers, a population of 85 million, and a production power nearly one trillion dollars; but a pioneering country of the Turkic world that has an economic capacity of approximately four trillion dollars with a population of 300 million in a geography spreading to four and half million square kilometers in Eurasia. Based on this fact, we aim to prepare the 108th issue of bilig, which will be published in January 2024, with the subject “Turkic World in the 100th Anniversary of the Republic of Turkey”. We await your valuable work on this issue, and we congratulate
you in advance on the 29 October Republic Day.
With the integration efforts carried out in every field within the Organization of Turkic States, Turkey is growing together with other Turkic states. In this context, one of the growing and expanding fields of Turkey is higher education and science. The topic of the Turkic Council/Organization of Turkic States summit held in Bishkek in 2012 was “Education, Science and Cultural Cooperation”. Within the framework of the decisions taken here, the Association of Turkic Universities was established in 2014. Today, with more than 40 universities from seven countries, this structure operates to accelerate the formation process of the Turkic World common higher education area. Bilig, the scientific publication of Hoca Ahmet Yesevi International Turkish-Kazakh University, which was one of the first steps taken in 1992 in the process of establishing a common higher education area of the Turkic world, also serves for this purpose as a global brand in the field of social sciences. We would like to express our gratitude to all people and institutions that support our efforts to bring together our valuable academics from the Turkic world under the rood of bilig, and to be the loud voice of the Turkic scientific community, and wish you a good read.
