Aim & Scope
One may define the emergence of new independent Turkish republics in the Central Asia and Caucasia as a result of disintegration of the Soviet Union (Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan,
Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan) in international area as the most important of the said changes and developments for both Turkish clans and communities and specialists of
Turcology.
The pleasure and satisfaction of accessing / attaining the inaccessible regions, those living in those regions and information and documents about them is well known by those who
pay effort for this purpose, who resist all sorts of difficulties and experience troubles. The elimination of the biggest obstacle before accessing / attaining of the Turkish states, clans and communities living in the Turkish Republics and different regions of the continent of Asia with one another and with their same races in the Republic of Turkey is one of the most significant events of the current century. Today more than twenty years has passed since this change, development and attaining. Although very good developments have been experienced within this period, it is unfortunately not much possible to say that the relations have reached up to the desired level.
Although disappointment was experienced among the Turkish states and communities in many fields, there have been many positive developments in the field of Turcology. As a
matter of fact, the experts of the subject have studied in the region which had been a dream for them in the past, have performed researches and inspections in the same project with their
colleagues, have reached many information, findings and documents related to Turkish language, history, art, culture civilization etc. within the last twenty years. The changes and developments experienced in the Turkish world and along with it in Turkey were followed closely by different instates and institutions concerned with Turcology; scientific meetings (councils, congresses, symposiums, banquets…) related to this issue were organized and the “information” obtained was published in the form of books, articles and manifestos. And sometimes despite having been realized with a huge labor and self sacrifice, the manifestos presented in the meetings, the articles written were not (could not) be published due to impossibility, insensitivity and “different reasons”.
The manifestos and articles are included in the most significant types of actual scientific texts. Failure to publish the manifestos and articles in time causes the opinions suggested /
claimed in the said manifestos and articles to lose their actuality and significance. In Turcology, as it is the case in certain scientific branches this is the issue about which scientists most
complain about.
The journal does not charge any processing fee for article acceptance or process procedures. The journal has adopted the basic principle of fulfilling its publishing responsibilities based on the "Journal Editors' Code of Conduct" (COPE, Code of Conduct for Journal Editors). The aim of Bezgek Journal of Turkish Teaching for Foreigners is to support the development and progress of studies on teaching Turkish.
