THE FIRST TURKOLOGICAL CONGRESS (1926): POLITICAL-IDEOLOGICAL AND SCIENTIFIC-CULTURAL MANIFESTATIONS OF NATIONAL-SPIRITUAL AWAKENING

Summary/Abstract: The First Turkological Congress is regarded as one of the most significant historical and political events in the institutional formation of Turkological scholarship and in the integration of national-ideological thought within a scientific and cultural framework. The Congress was not merely a prestigious academic gathering; it also functioned as a foundational intellectual platform that marked the emergence of Turkological thought on an institutional basis. Although the principal agenda of the Congress, convened in Baku in 1926, centered on the transition to a new alphabet, extensive discussions were also conducted on orthographic and literary language issues. Moreover, important conceptual approaches were advanced regarding the establishment of a common terminological system and the scholarly study of the history, languages, and literatures of Turkic peoples on scientific foundations. In this respect, the Congress assumed a remarkable role in fostering the development of scientific and cultural thought within a unified framework across the Turkic world. The systematic examination of the scientific ideas and theoretical approaches articulated within the framework of the First Turkological Congress constitutes an important academic necessity. Furthermore, the investigation of the mechanisms of interaction among political, ideological, and scientific factors in the evolution of Turkological thought continues to represent one of the major fields of inquiry in contemporary humanities scholarship.
