Abstract

In 1926 there was the first Turkological Conference in Boku, in which the issues of Turkic history, language and literature were discussed. The issues discussed in the conference have been analyzed from different point of views until nowadays. The press in the former soviet countries constantly advocated for this conference, as it was an important event in social-political life of Turkic nations. In the research of foreign specia- lists, this event is described as an important stage related to forming the language and history of Turkic nations under Bolshevik ideology. The at-tempts on this purpose carried out in the late 30s and later of the 20th cen-tury. It is an essential task for Turkologists and linguists to revise resources of that time which caused controversial opinions and to investigate them by comparing with the research in foreign countries. Before analyzing the material of the conference, it is necessary to identify when and why the idea of organizing this conference had occurred. Because there is no information about it in the research of Uzbek linguists. However, there are opinions not corresponding to each other in Russian and foreign works.Bilal N.Shimshiv, who investigated the development of Turkic wri-ting on the basic of Latin-based alphabet, writes that the idea of the con-ference of Turkish linguists appeared in 1923-1924s in Russia and in 1925 the preparation started. F.D. Ashin thinks that Shamoylivich put forward this idea. The letters by Samoylivish from S.Peterburg to Turkologist and linguist Gordlevskiya showed that this idea of the conference appeared in 1913.The analysis of the press from that time shows that the main aim of orginizing this conference is to transfer the alphabet of the nations into Russian alphabet.
