Research Abstract

Studies on the history of the Timurids, the Mughals, the Jalairids, the Qara-Qoyunlus, the A_1-Qoyunlus, the Safavids, the ottomans and other dynastes have been made overwhelmingly from the view point of the West Asian history, Central Asian history or Islamic history.
And these studies left out the true picture of the Turks and Mongols in the core of their tribal confederation and their political structure much in ambiguity. If persian historical sources are read with care and insightfully, it will surely become clear that these clynasties were basically nomadic states in the line with such nomadic empire as Hsiung-nu. Tunks, Mongols in the Central Eurasian history.
