Contemporary Turkish World

The Turkish World has an important place in the world agenda as a reality that is of interest, needs to be taken into account and preserves its importance today as it was in the past. Being at the center of the world's transportation, energy and trade corridor, it has been in the focus of attention of global powers for a long time. During the 19th and 20th centuries, most of the communities and peoples that make up the Turkish World remained in captivity; even today, some of them still cannot lead an independent life, however, they protect their own identity by protecting their national and religious values. In this context, with this third book of our series, which reveals our 4000 years of Turkish history, titled "Contemporary Turkish World", we have visited Turkestan, Siberia, Idil-Ural, Crimea, Caucasus, Iran, the Balkans, the Middle East and Cyprus from the 1850s to 2020. As we examined the Turkish presence in Turkey, we also tried to reveal the policies of the countries that have a say in the world, as well as Turkey, towards the Turkish World and how they perceive this world.
Although the book was prepared especially for university students, it has become a book that can be used by those who are interested in the subject, who want to have basic knowledge and who want to learn about the approaches of world power centers towards the Turkish World. Hope it is useful…
