Abstract:
As of the IVth century, the Turks were forced to leave their homeland in theTurkestan region due to various reasons including natural disasters, population increase, insufficient grazing lands, political disputes, severe external pressure andthe idea of world dominance. The Turkic tribes who departed from Asia towards thewest have asserted their dominance on the steppes of the northern Black Sea regionfor a long time. Especially after the arrival of the Huns to the region, numerous tribes had to leave their homeland, which led to the "Great Migration of thePeoples". Between the IVth and VIIth centuries, the Huns, Sabars, Carpathians,Ogur groups, Avars and Bulgars have founded great states in the large geography that also includes the Danube River basin. The Turks have continued their rule in Eastern Europe for a long time and made a great contribution to the transformationin the socio-cultural structure of the region. Since they found the Balkan Regionsuitable for their social, economic and political life, they wanted to settle herepermanently. In this study, we would like to present information about the Turkish tribes, who settled in the area between the IVth and VIIth centuries.
