The Issue of the East Turkestan as a Problem Area of the Muslim World and Policies of the People's Republic of China
Abstract
The main problem of the study is to research the policies that China applies on the Xinjian Uygur Autonomous Region, which is one of the five autonomous regions, and to determine Turkey's point of view on this issue. Within this problematic framework, it has been examined the geographic position and the social and administrative structure of the East Turkestan; the pressure policy that China is implementing in this region has been tried to elaborate. The main purpose of this study is to examine the violations of rights that China follows in the core areas such as population, migration, education and economic policies against the people of the East Turkestan and to treat the foreign policy of Turkey towards the East Turkestan. The 'zero problem' discourse, which Turkey wants to implement on its neighboring countries, has not been very effective for the East Turkestan; Turkey has been seen to have only a mediator role against the manner in pressure and violence of the People's Republic of China that imposes on the Uighur Turks. It can be argued that Turkey sees this issue as humanitarian view will help China to oversee its policies that it implements. In the study, the study has benefited from relevant primary and secondary sources within the context of the descriptive research methodology.
