     The researcher said that the geographic location, boundaries and natural conditions of the states and peoples of the Turkic world on the Eurasian continent were carefully analyzed, and their ethnographic areas of settlement were compared with other peoples. Some eco-geographic problems were also considered and a historical-geographical analysis of the geo-political position of the Turkic peoples was carried out.

    The role of the Turkic world is assessed in maintaining the balance and establishing military-political, economic and cultural relations between civilizations located on the outskirts of the Eurasian continent.

    The prospective development of relations is estimated with such major power centers as western and Eastern Europe, East Asia and South-West Asia.
