After the disintegration of the former Soviet Union research interest in several scientists and experts in the history and culture of Central Asia has increased, from the first years of independence, a great number of works devoted to various aspects of the national and political development of the Central Asia republics has been published.

However, the research stipulated by the various reasons, depending on the purposes, which were set up themselves by scientists and experts, have not downsized the number of questions, it's rather quite the contrary that some of them have led to the even greater polemic. In this connection, it is worth noting that the researchers have, as a rule, external and internal estimations, which, to a greater extent form the image of the nations of Central Asia, their history, and culture.

The true history of Central Asia is far from this popular image. Indigenous nations have inherited the culture of great wealth and refinement"³. Indeed, one can hardly have doubts that Central Asia is one of the most unique regions of the world with ancient history and rich spiritual and cultural heritage. Since the most ancient times in the territories of the modern region of Central Asia, dozens of states have emerged and broken up⁴, and numerous aggressive wars have been
