THE IDEAS AND PURPOSES OF THE FIRST PANTURKIC ORGANIZATIONS

Abstract

The main goal of this article is to show the ideas and purposes of the first Pan-Turkic organizations, such as the “Association of the Turks”, the “Homeland of the Turks” and “Hearth of the Turks”. These organizations and their press started to distribute the ideas of Pan-Turkism. The important goal of all these organizations was the reformation of the Turkish language. They also discussed the political programs of the Osmanism and Pan-Islamism, but they adopted the program of Pan-Turkism. As a result of activity of the Pan-Turkic organizations the ideas of Pan-Turkism were systematized and institutionalized, which later were transformed but they continued to be part of the public and state system.
