Based on proceedings of the "International Symposium on Altai Communities : Migrations and Emergence of Nations" held in Istanbul on 18-19 July 2011. Introduction. Altay communities: Migrations and emergence of nations. Over the course of history, the Altay region has been known as a place where many nomadic tribes and peoples lived, as a kind of simmering pot where common values of civilization, to include professions and crafts, were formed and which were then spread from here by means of various clans and branches to other geographic areas. In this context, the Altay Communities book, which is the product of the symposium supported by ISTESOB, contains 45 scholarly articles in Turkish, English, Russian, Kyrgyz and Kazakh related to the goods and items produced as values of civilization by the peoples who emerged from Altay, their migrations and distribution to various lands and their position as a nation among the others in the world's geography.
