Congresses, Colloquiums and Symposiums

In the 1970s, the members of the Institute of Turcology embarked on a new endeavor. Under the chairmanship of Prof. Dr. Ahmet Caferoğlu, Director of the Institute, the I. International Turkology Congress was held on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Republic of Turkey. Since 1978, the Institute started to convene the National Turkology Congress, which was attended only by scholars from Turkey, and organized eight National Turkology Congresses. The dates of these national and international congresses are as follows:

Between 1973 and 1988, a total of 14 national and international Turkology Congresses were held. During these congresses, more than 3,500 topics in the fields of Turkish language, Turkish literature, Turkish history, Turkish art history, Turkish music, Turkish folklore, Turkish geography, Turkish-Islamic philosophy, Turkish intellectual history, and Turkish religious history were presented by distinguished Turkish and international scholars. In the 1985 5th International Turkology Congress, a preliminary agreement was reached with the Soviet Union delegation to organize bilateral Turkology colloquia. This agreement led to the initiation of Turkology colloquia involving seven scholars from Turkey and seven scholars from the Soviet Union every two years, in accordance with Article 6 of the "Scientific and Cultural Exchange Program" signed between the Republic of Turkey and the Soviet Union, starting from 1988.
