Khaydarov M. Mirazim

Abstract

Turkic peoples from the ancient times played key roles in Central Eurasia. High martial qualities of Turkic peoples let them conquer vast territories and create many empires in Central Eurasia. However Turkic peoples have never acted on the world arena as a single whole. By XIX and XX centuries Turkic nations turned to colonies and semi-colonies of the great powers. As the dissemination of ethnic principle of self-identification the idea of the Turkic world integration spread in the Turkic world. Ideas of ethnic integration are constructive under the condition of overcoming chauvinistic and extremist trends. One can see that by examples of Pan-Germanism and Pan-Slavizm that were in fact realized in the middle of XX century. At present there are several premises for dissemination of the idea of intensification of the Turkic world integration. Relative equality of integrating parties is one the integration terms. Civilization proximity of nations is the fundament of integration. It indicates necessity of increasing peoples’ psychological and communicative proximity. In this connection and because of the existing political situation, it is expedient to concentrate the efforts on humanitarian integration of the Turkic world, rather than the political. Several priority measures of intensification of the Turkic world integration are recommended.
