هدف اين پژوهش، بررسي تأثيرات ايدئولوژي پان تركيسم در آسياي مركزي است. فروپاشي اتحاد جماهير شوروي و استقلال كشورهاي آسياي مركزي و قفقاز، بار ديگر اميد نظريه پردازان و استراتژيست‌هاي پانتركيسم را كه پس از جنگ دوم در رابطه با پيشبرد پروژه برپايي يك امپراطوري ترك زبان در مناطق جنوبي شوروي دچار سرخوردگي و نا اميدي شده بودند، زنده كرد.
اين پژوهش با توجه به آرمان‌هاي پانتركي در سياست خارجي تركيه و تلاش‌هاي پانزده ساله اخير سياستمداران و نخبگان فكري اين كشور براي پيشبرد پروژه پان تركيسم و اتحاد جمهوري‌هاي آسياي مركزي، پيامد اين تلاش‌ها و تأثيرات آن در آسياي مركزي در نهايت واكنش كشورهاي منطقه را به آرمان‌هاي پانتركي تجزيه و تحليل مي‌كند. فرضيه اساسي پژوهش آن است كه برخلاف ايده‌هاي اوليه، پانتركيسم در ابعاد سياسي خود پيشرفت چنداني نكرده و اين مسأله تركيه و سياستمداران آن را دچار ترديد كرده است
Abstract:
This research seeks to study the impact of Pan-Turkist ideology on Central Asia. The collapse of the Soviet Union and independence of the Central Asian and Caucasian states once again revitalized hopes among the Pan-Turkist theoreticians and strategists who were hopeless about the implementation of their project of establishing a Turkic empire in the southern parts of the Soviet Union. Considering the Pan-Turkist ideals in Turkey’s foreign policy and the 15-year long efforts by the country’s politicians and intellectuals in promoting the Pan-Turkist project of alliance among Central Asian republics, this article addresses these efforts and their effects on Central Asia and finally regional countries’ reaction to the Pan-Turkist ideals. The main hypothesis of the research includes that unlike original ideas, Pan-Turkism has not progressed so much in its political aspects, which made Turkish politicians hesitant about it.
