This period has been comprehensively studied in domestic historiography and its «blank pages» continue to be revealed today. However, this historical period has not yet been studied in the sources and historiography of Turkey, which is a fraternal country. The main sources of the chronological period we have chosen are preserved in the archives of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Turkey, the Ottoman state libraries and the rare collections of the National Library in Ankara. Studies and historiographical bases connected with the problems of the Turkic peoples’ cooperation were considered from two perspectives. The main purpose of the article is a comprehensive analysis of the Turkic peoples’ cooperation since the end of the 19th – first quarter of the 20th centuries in Turkish sources and historiography. To achieve this goal, Turkish sources and materials stored in the archives were classified by comparative analysis, and on this basis the problems of Jadid movement, Turkism and Islam, Muslim issues, national identity, and political-cultural struggle based on the principle of historicism were analyzed.
