The First Section  "Türkmen"


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 nation’s 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.
