ОГУЗСКИЙ СЛЕД В ИСТОРИИ ЮГО-ВОСТОЧНОЙ ЕВРОПЫ: 
НЕКОТОРЫЕ ВОПРОСЫ ИСТОРИКО-АРХЕОЛОГИЧЕСКИХ ИССЛЕДОВАНИЙ
Summary. Oguz trace in the history of Southeast Europe: some issues of historical and ar-
chaeological research. 
The role of the Turkic factor and its heritage in various spheres of the politi-
cal, economic and cultural development of this huge region - the center of intertwining and mutual 
influence of eastern and western civilizations - remains an actual issue in the study of the Middle Ages 
and early modernity of Southeast Europe, and undoubtedly in historical and archaeological research. 
A special place in its study belongs to the history of migration, settlement and cultural manifestation 
of the powerful movement of the Oguz tribes who overcame vast distances in Asia, found their place 
in the south of Eastern Europe and filled the lands of a significant part of Asia Minor. The results 
of research indicate the need for further comprehensive studies of burial and settlement sites of the 
Oguzes of South Russia in general, including the characteristics of regional population groups. The 
issues of further research of the early Turkic enclaves of Southern Europe, the genesis of the Gagauz 
people and its history, which directly related to the lands of modern Ukraine and Moldova, remain 
very topical. The issues of mutual relations and cultural ties between Rus and the South Stream of the 
Oguzes are also insufficiently studied. However, the Oguz of the northern stream, which settled in the 
South of Eastern Europe, and the South Stream, settled in Western Asia, and represented the Seljuk 
culture and long traditions of the cosmogonic level characteristic of the Turkic peoples.
