“Turkistan” or “Central Asia”?

#Türkiye’s Ministry of National Education has decided to replace the term “#CentralAsia” with “#Turkistan” in school textbooks. The ministry justified its decision by stating the goal of raising future generations with a sense of #Turkish identity, national consciousness and patriotism.

So, what is the purpose? Why now? How will nations and states in #Asia respond to this? What impact will it have on the #Turkic states?

UWI author, historian and political scientist Assoc. Prof. Dr. #MehmetPerinçek provided an evaluation.
