T
oday, thoroughly studying of ethnic history, socio-economic sit-
uation and structure, changes in the traditional and spiritual 
culture of our compatriots abroad, scattered in the process of full-
fledged formation of the history of our country, is an urgent issue 
at the forefront. This should become an important tool in the for-
mation of national life, spiritual values, traditional culture and art of 
the Kazakh people, especially in preserving the unity and integrity 
of the nation. Within this framework, some work has been done in 
the country. One of his first initiatives was the II Kurultai of the Ka-
zakhs of the world. In his report, the first President of the country 
N. A. Nazarbayev emphasized that for Kazakhs around the world, 
the entire Kazakh people, the significance of Kurultai is huge and 
is a common spiritual value for all peoples-national identity, tradi-
tions and customs, testifying to the unity of our people. In this regard, 
the head of state noted that « this meeting is a clear evidence that 
our country has really achieved independence, turned into a civi-
lized country, and is a clear evidence that our ancestors made dreams 
for many centuries. This Kurultai is a sign that the Kazakh people in 
the new Millennium are confidently marching as a single nation. For 
all of us, there can be no more happiness, no more joy, » he said. [1].
Comparatively, the number of Kazakhs in Turkey dominated 
than the number of Kazakhs in other countries. For this reason, it be-
comes important to study the history of the Kazakhs in Turkey.
There are no thoroughly researched studies about Kazakhs in 
Turkey. In particular, there so few studies in the 50–60s of the last 
century, especially about the life, activity, adaptation of Kazakhs in 
Turkey, and other materials. Some scientist-researchers fully ex-
plained in their collected sources about the first movers to the Turkish 
land. So far, foreign scientists who provided information about the 
Kazakh Diaspora in this region have included Swiss scientist Ingvar 
Svanberg [2], Godri Lias [3], from domestic researchers G. M. Men-
dikulov [4], Turkish scientist, compatriot Abdlukap Kara [5], K. 
B. K. Kalshabaeva, A. K. Beisegulova [6].
In Turkey, there are few scientists-historians, researchers who 
provide information about the Kazakhs. For example, a researcher of 
the history of Kazakhs on Turkish soil, doctor of historical Sciences, 
Professor of the University of art Mimar Sinan Abdlukap Kara in the 
work« migration of Kazakhs to Turkey » notes that the first study 
about the Kazakhs of Turkey was made by a researcher of Ankara 
Sagdat Shagatai. «Ms. Sagdat heard that in October 1952, a group 
from Kashmir came to Turkey when they were placed in a refugee 
home in Istanbul. In February of the following year, he arrived in Is-
tanbul from Ankara and met Kazakhs under the leadership of Hu-
sain Taiji» [8, P. 5]. There are people among the nations who have 
witnessed the story. Details of the difficult years of history living in 
Turkey are provided by research intellectuals such as Omar Zhigit, 
Mansur Taiji, Abdulselam Malkosh, Abdrakhman Chetin, Abdilu-
akap Kara, and these facts have become a key part of our article.
For the first time, researchers consider the migration of Kazakhs 
to Turkish land since the 50s of the XX century, namely, 1951–1953.
