Oguzs,
Persians, Seljuks and HarzemŞahs are unsurpassable honours and
priceless treasures.
The
beauty, fineness, of the human being lies in the truthfulness of his
words. Unfortunately, it was not really that some sections of the Türkmen
society were corrupted and derailed. Between the 14th and 16th
centuries, because of internal conflicts within the Türkmen nation, it
ceased to prosper. The principalities and the Hanates could not agree
and made great wars among themselves, a prelude to the perishing of the
Türkmen themselves. The esteem, power, strength and spiritual credit of
Türkmen was in decline.
Brave
Türkmen! In this world, in the history of humanity there is nothing
true and eternal except our Exalted, Eternal, Allah. Within the Seljuk
State, after the 14th Century, because of the central state,
we began to be divided into kingdoms, Hanates and principalities. The Türkmen
dynasties of Akgoŭunly (Whitesheep) and Garagoŭunly (Blacksheep) had
started to fight among themselves.
After
the 17th century, following the Russian expansion around the
Caspian Sea, and the establishment of relations between Russia and
Persia, the Türkmens were excluded, their settlements decreased.
History witnesses that external forces settled and regulated the tribal
conflicts of Türkmen people, and their territorial and water disputes
with neighbouring countries. Between 1879 and 1881, the Türkmen
nations economic, political, and social life was destroyed by the
harsh impact of the Gökdepe Wars. For this reason the Russian state was
able to establish a pro-Russian puppet authority that expanded its
cultural and religious propaganda in Türkmen lands.
