Summary/Abstract: How would we write geo-strategic and combined national histories of the Turk countries? It does not seem possible to determine what do we intend to say when we use the phrase “Turkestan countries” or to prepare a cronology about Turkish World History. Besides we don’t know what are the benefits of such studies. Nevertheless to shape the future relations of Turk countries or at least determine basic cornerstones of the strategic roadmap would be useful. One of the special points of History of the Turkish World is cronologic time. Our interest as a historian is about the past incidents and conversion mechanisms of the social structure. Real value of the history shows itself at making predictions about today and future events.
