Summary/Abstract: After the ancient Turkic period Oguz people have settled in Azerbaijan at the west of the Caspian Sea and from the east side in the Western Turkestan. Uygur and karluk people have taken places at the east of Turkestan, Kypchaks at the north of Turkestan. At the XI century the ethno-geographical parameters have extended to the Eastern Europe and the Asia Minor, and to the X-XI centuries the process of definition of geographical borders of Turkic ethnos comes to the end. The generated Moslem doctrine have been incorporated in the syncretic form with the national colour and perceived as the Turkic-ethnic thinking. The concepts and the gnoseological representations existing before the Moslem period were forgotten. As a result of it, the basic propagation of Islamic ideas passes from Arabs to Turkic.
