Kyrgyzstan History
The Kyrgyz, who lived in the Kögmen Mountains during the time of the Kökturks in Central Asia, ended the Uyghur State in 840 and established their own state in these lands and later became Muslims during the Karakhanids Period. - The Karakhanids also reigned in the Uyghur Region.) Especially after the 17th century, the Kyrgyz, who came under Russian influence as a result of the expansionist policies of Tsarist Russia in Central Asia, were willing to avoid the inter-communal conflicts in Central Asia. they accepted its influence. Although this situation does not match the general temperament of the Turks, it is understood from here that this has become a necessity due to the weak fighting characteristics of the Kyrgyz. Undoubtedly, the fact that Russia provoked the Turkish communities against each other first and then assumed a supposed protective-savior role is a situation that should be taken as a lesson for the people of the foresight.
Kyrgyzstan, which was actually occupied by Russia for colonialism in the 1820s, became independent with the dissolution of the Soviets in 1991 and they managed to protect their national identity by resisting the assimilation policies especially during the Soviet period. During this transition period, a high dose of tension and clashes were experienced especially between Uzbeks and Kyrgyz, and in a sense, even while the Russians withdrew, they did not let go of the business without fooling the brothers. Isn't it a pain? Do not see your worst enemy and fight with your brother.
