М. ШОҚАЙ - МҰСЫЛМАН ЭМИГРАНТТАРЫНЫҢ КӨШБАСШЫСЫ

Abstract

The leader of the Turkestan national liberation movement, Mustafa Shokay, spent the last 20 years of his life in a difficult emigration situation in Central Europe, in France. A brilliant politician, an ardent publicist and a brilliant orator, he exposed the Bolshevik national policy of the Soviet Union in his multilingual publications with speeches at the respective stands in Istanbul, Paris, Berlin, London. Mustafa Shokay, a member of the Central Committee of the Turkestan National Unity, established in 1924, and later its leader, was able to clearly define the most important tasks of the organization related to maintaining the integrity of the Turkestan peoples and strengthening their centralized cooperation. At the same time, he emphasized that the enemies of Turkestan are too strong to effectively deal with its colonial policy, national organizations need to pay special attention to issues of friendship, cooperation and mutually beneficial relations. Thus, he formed the strategy and tactics of the liberation movement in the conditions of emigration, a new form of national struggle in the history of the Kazakh people. So Mustafa Chokay became the undisputed leader of Muslim emigrants in Europe.
