Abstract
The geography in the north of the Black Sea has been a geography where Turks have been extensively active in every period of history. Turks migrating from Turkestan to the west they settled in the area between the north of the Caspian Sea and İdil-Ural. These plains to the north of the Black Sea have been the most favorable geography for the Turks. If it is accepted that the Cimmerians were accepted as Turkishness, the Turkish presence in the northern part of the Black Sea was brought to life by BC VII. century. After the Cimmerians, the continuity of the Turks, the most ancient society in history such as Scythian, European Huns, Khazars, Kipchaks, Khanate of the Golden Horde and Crimean Khanates, is observed. Especially after the Huns, we can follow the Turkish presence in the region in a chronological manner without interruption. During the period when the presence of the Russians began to be effective, the Turks did not withdraw from some important positions such as Crimea, even if there were Turkish migrations to other regions. The northern part of the Black Sea, which is also very important for Byzantium, has been the scene of long years of conflict. Although the Pechenegs also conquered the Kipchak Steppes for a while, it was seen that after the 11th century, the Kipchaks were dominated and thus the effectiveness of Byzantium in the region decreased. In addition to all these, Seljuks were also interested in the north of the Black Sea and they organized flights to these regions, especially the Crimea. However, after 1240, the dominance of the state of Genghis Khan was observed to be intense. Especially Khanate of the Golden Horde was the most important protector of the representation of Turkishness in the Crimea and its environs. At the end of the 18th century, the Russians descended to the north of the Black Sea and abolished the Turkish rule that lasted for 1500 years.
