The art of the Gök Türk empires and the subsequent Uighur states constitutes the earliest examples of art by Turkic peoples. Much of it exhibits a high level of sophistication in its execution and, unsurprisingly, shows the influence of neighboring cultures.

The Turkic language was introduced in Anatolia at the start of this millennium, by nomadic Turk-men groups from Central Asia.

Three nuclear microsatellite loci, the hypervariable region I of the mitochondrial genome, six microsatellite loci of the Y chromosome, and one Alu insertion (YAP) were amplified and typed in 118 individuals from four populations of Anatolia. For each locus, the number of c...

Dursun, Selçuk (Informa UK Limited, 2011-06-15)
The making of the modern Ottoman state in the 19th century was closely interrelated with population issues and policies. 'Population' became an important component of Ottoman history throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries. As the state identified the 'population' as a source of income after the Tanzimat, it tried to protect and procreate it through certain institutional arrangements and regulations. These policies consisted of protecting the existing population, controlling population movements, promo...
