| Additional information |
The Kara-Khanid Khanate was the first Turkic dynasty to adopt Islam as a state religion, converting in the mid-10th century — a political shift that reoriented the entire Central Asian steppe. Turkey's 2015 series honoring historical Turkic states reflects Ankara's long-running project of situating the modern republic within a civilizational lineage stretching back well before the Ottomans.
