Book made in Turkey, Ankara. The title of the book reads:”Master of Turkestan, Hodja Achmed Yasawi and buildings”. The translation mayby not 100% accurate. Ahmad Yasawi (1093–1166) was a Turkic poet. Yasawi is the earliest known Turkic poet who composed poetry in Middle Turkic. He was a pioneer of popular mysticism, founding the first Turkic Sufi order, the Yasawiyya or Yeseviye, which very quickly spread over Turkic-speaking areas.
Turkestan also spelled Turkistan is a historical region in Central Asia corresponding to the regions of Transoxiana and Xinjiang. Turkestan is primarily inhabited by Turkic peoples, including Uzbeks, Oghuz Turks, Kazakhs, Khazars, Kyrgyz, and Uyghurs. The region hosts Russian and Tajik-Persian minorities. Turkestan is subdivided into Afghan Turkestan, Russian Turkestan, and the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in China. Today, “Turkestan” mainly refers to Xinjiang, where Turkic peoples constitute about half of the population.
