Biography and/or project

I am interested in researching Transformations of Ethnic groups in Central Asia. The point is, Kazakhstan is ethnically and culturally diverse, in part due to mass deportations of many ethnic groups to the country. Kazakhstan has a population of 16.6 million, with 131 ethnicities. Their migration to Kazakhstan and the transformation of ethnic groups are a very topical and interesting subject for research. I research the Emergence of Ethnic metamorphoses of national identity and ethnic consciousness of Turkic tribes of Central Asia. Emergence of Ethnic metamorphoses of national identity and ethnic consciousness of Turks of Central Asia and explore every single related aspect. In the post-soviet period the theme like this wasn’t allowed to be researched. By today the most source and truth in history not discovered and needs they research. I will argue attempts to move beyond the colonial past also deserve new forms of research.
