One of the rare works of Mongolian history, Tevârîh-i Güzîde-Nuŝretnâme written in the classic era of Chagatay Turkish (around 16th century) is very important especially in terms of Central Asian Turkish history. Counted among the most valuable works of Turkish historiography that developed in Central Asia, the principal part of this remarkable work consists of Şibânî-name, followed by the Chagatay Turkish translation of the first volume of Câmi'ü't-Tevârih, Tevârîh-i Mübâreke-i Gazan Han. The work, which begins with the epic of Oguz Khan, deals with the life and reign of Genghis Khan, and historical events, including the period of Mahmut Bahadır Sultan, the younger brother of Şiban Khan. There are two copies of the work, and extensive research on both copies is scarce. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

One of the important historical turning points of states is the change of political power. The parties to change have implemented different policies, especially in the socio-cultural field, even if they have similar ideologies. In the reform of the republic, where the state changed with almost every dynamics that formed it change brought with it a great transformation. Kemalism, which basically incorporates Turkish nationalism, is the ideology that plans and programs this transformation. In line with the idea of nationalism in its core, it can be said that the main problematic of Kemalism is to determine the historical process in which the national origin will be launched. Early republican era historiography tries to solve the problem by ignoring the Ottoman Empire and reaching the history of Central Asian Turkish. Thus, the Ottoman Empire becomes a process that is a thing of the past. It is inevitable that this new view of history will directly affect the type of novel that takes its subject from history. n the historical novel published between 1923 and 1938, the Ottomans take part in largely negative images as a requirement of the new perception of history. This situation, which exemplifies the dominant effect of official ideologies on the cultural field, reduces the period and the human reality to which it was preceded by pure literature. n the novel of the period, the Ottoman appears in a picture of a historical process in which historical / fictive novel people, who have no particular side, repeat the same behaviors in the same places.

Asena, (according to chinese sources also known as Asina, Ašina, Ashih- na (阿史那皇后), 551-582) the Gokturk's Princess and Empress of China was the granddaughter of Bumin Qaghan who established the second great Gokturk state in the Turkic political history of Central Asia. He was the founder of the first Gokturk Khaganate that used the name Türk. She is also the third daughter of Muqan Qaghan, the third Khan of the Gokturk Khaganate who eradicated the Avar Khaganate (Rouran 柔然) that had the majority of the Turkic tribes in Central Asia under its domain and until then ruled the region; subjugated the Kitans and Kyrgyz people and as a result made China recognise the superiority of the Gokturks. The Gokturk Princess Asena was the Empress of the Emperor Yuwen Yong (also known as Emperor Wu (Yu Wenyong) of Northern Zhou (Dynasty) (北周武帝宇文邕) from the Tuoba Clan of the Northern Zhou (北周) (557-581) who established himself at the northern side of China soon after the Gokturk Khaganate was founded. In the Chinese sources, she was referred to with titles and names such as the Empress of Yuwen Yong (宇文邕的皇后), Empress Wude (武德皇后) and Empress Dowager Tianyuan (天元皇太后). This study examines the lost golden objects of the Gokturk Princess Asena discovered in 1993/4 at the Xiao Ancestral Cemetery and later stolen by tomb raiders and antique smugglers in the light of the Chinese sources.
