The main goal of the journal "Caucasus and the Turkic World" is to promote an objective, multilateral and scientific approach to history in a globalized world, to create a scientific basis for mutual understanding and cultural dialogue between different peoples. The journal aims to re-evaluate the rich historical heritage of the “Caucasus and the Turkic World” and consider the impact of this heritage on the present and the future.
The journal also aims to explore the concepts of history and identity not only in the context of a region or people, but in a universal context, in the spirit of mutual respect, empathy and cooperation. In this regard, the journal calls not only on the Turkic peoples, but also on other peoples living in the region, in the process of restoring common historical memory and building cultural bridges towards the future.
In the context of globalization, the journal's mission is to contribute to the appreciation of the concepts of history and identity as tools of understanding and partnership, rather than as ideological tools. The journal also aims to create a scientific knowledge base for peace, security and sustainable cooperation by promoting the integration of elements of shared culture, language and history that transcend political boundaries.
When viewed from this context, the importance of the Zangezur corridor, which will play an important role as a bridge between the Turkic world, Turkic- speaking countries, peoples, and also between Asia and Europe, comes to the fore. The Zangezur corridor is not just a road, transit line, or economic project - it means the reconstruction of a historical bridge between the East and the West. This corridor means the revival of a region where peoples have moved, caravans have passed, and languages and cultures have intersected for thousands of years. Some historical research conducted in this geography so far has, unfortunately, been manipulated and deliberately distorted for political purposes. This is because there are many inconsistencies in written history. And as a result, global historical knowledge has been damaged. This is a harm to science not only regionally, but on a human scale.
We hope that soon we will have a world that is one of the most humanistic dreams in human history. Borders are melting in front of information and science, people's memories are mixing together. If this integration is built on justice, respect for history, and the preservation of cultural diversity, then projects like the Zangezur corridor will become gateways that create not only regional but global values. And for this, we scientists must also prepare.
In our globalized world, information, culture, and ideas are crossing borders more rapidly. The Zangezur corridor can also be a junction for the flow of information and culture. In addition to physically connecting the Turkic World, this corridor:
It is planned to publish 2 issues of the journal per year. Members of the editorial board of the journal will be informed about additional innovations.
