8 THE SOVIET HISTORIOGRAPHY AND 15-16 April 2015. The symposium, in which scientists from the USA, Kazakhstan and Turkey presented 19 papers, was successful. Many people who attended the symposium expressed that they had never heard about Bekmakhanov before and that they had an opportunity to know him with this symposium. This shows that the symposium reaches its purpose and fills the space on this subject even if it is on a small scale. We thought it would be useful to publish the symposium papers in Turkish as well as in English. Thus, it would be possible to contribute to the promotion of Bekmakhanov outside of Turkey. For this reason, the papers of guests from Kazakhstan were translated from Kazakh into Turkish, then all the reports were translated from Turkish into English. As our budget was limited, translations were made by voluntary researchers. The majority of the translations from Kazakh to Turkish were made by Assist. Prof. Dr. Gülnar Kara (Bilecik Eren University) and a paper by Aynur Erjibayeva (Ph.D. student of Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University). Some parts of the papers were translated from Turkish into English by translators of the Union of Turkish World Municipalities and the rest by Dr. Serdar Yılmaz (Arel University), Bekir Sadıktopaloğlu (Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University History Department), Ahmet Sert (Mimar Sinan University Fine Arts University PhD student) and Denizcan Dede (Koç University). We are grateful to them. In addition, all the English translations were meticulously edited by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Steven Sabol from University of North Carolina. We are also grateful to him. We are thankful for everyone who contributed and supported the symposium, especially Prof. Dr. Yalçın Karayağız, the rector of Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University, Prof. Dr. Fatma Urekli, the Head of the Department History of Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University, members of the Department of History, all participants of the symposium, Bekir Sadık Topaloğlu for working with me at the editorial jobs for prepearing papers for print, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Fahri Solak, the general secretary of the Union of Turkish World Municipalities, which is sponsor of the symposium and this book. Best regards, Prof. Dr. Abdulvahap Kara Istanbul, 1 November 2016
THE QUESTION OF KAZAKHSTAN’S HISTORY 9 OPENING SPEECH OF SYMPOSIUM Mr. Vice-Rector Prof. Zeki Alpan, Kazakhstan’s Consul General in Istanbul Mr. Serjan Sarsenbayev, the Union of Turkic World Municipalities Secretary General Fahri Solak, representatives of Turkish World Research Foundation, sympsium participants with a paper from various universities both in Turkey and from abroad, television and media representatives, dear scholars of our university and our students who impatiently waiting for the start of the program, welcome to you all to the International Symposium that will be held today and tomorrow about “Soviet Historiography and Issues of the History of Kazakhstan” and the honor you give to us all. Thank you for coming. The Symposium: it is planned as five sessions, papers will be presented and discussed in the first four sessions and in the last session of the symposium a general evaluation will be made. During the symposium, fourteen papers will be presented by experts in the field. Sessions this afternoon will continue on the fourth floor of this building, located in the Department of History. I want to thank to the rectorate, the office of Dean, the Union of Turkish World Municipalities, members of department of history, which supported the symposium and from the beginning quickly prepared everything; the symposium’s secretariat that conducted the correspondence, and especially Prof. Dr. Abdulvahap Kara who pioneered the idea and the participating scientists from various cities of Turkey, Cyprus, and Kazakhstan. Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the Republic of Turkey’s founder, attached great importance to the development of historical research in order to make the Turkish people stronger and to achieve economic and politic independence. Ataturk emphasised one point of many important issues that history should be written correctly and based on the documents. According to his conception of history, history can’t be a product of some dream but that reflects the realities if it is based on documents. Ataturk drew attention to the importance of historiograhpy, saying that “Writing history is as important as making history. If the writer does not remain loyal to the maker, then the unchangeable reality transforms into a confusing matter for humanity.” Indeed, historians should correctly understand historical data and objectively assess and examine the history of mankind and any nation. Only in this way is it possible to understand properly the present and to prepare confidently for the future. How bricks form a building, so articles, reports, books, scientific
