Abstract

The importance of considering domestic history as a holistic historical process within the framework of the history of Turkic peoples and states, studying the crucial periods in the political, religious and ideological life of Turkic Muslim peoples with the participation of internal and external factors from a new perspective in a different angle is increasing. This is due to the fact that historical science imposes a review of today's research on the basis of new tasks and modern theoretical and methodological positions.

In the scientific article, the author combines research materials as pre-revolutionary, Soviet and modern historical research. And it represents a personal perspective, reviewing the practical and academic research materials of each historical period. The author believes that the indirect and unbiased study of central Asia in foreign relations of the Ottoman Empire has limited the possibility of an objective assessment of historical processes. During the historical review of the researchers' works: first, the politics of the Ottoman Empire in Central Asia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the military-political and counter-revolution forces directed against Russia; Secondly, it was revealed that the Turks, who are part of Russia, are valued as an Islamic movement in the way of religious integration of Muslim countries.

In conclusion, the various historical phenomena that took place in Central Asia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries proved that the idea of Turkic has a whole has a vital relevance, with new political problems before the world empires. This issue has shown that it continues in the 21st century.
