Abstract
This article analyzes the migration processes of Turkic peoples to the regions of Turkestan, the Molguzar mountain ranges, and the Mirzachul steppe during the first half of the 18th and 19th centuries, based on historical sources. It examines the influence of climatic changes, political instability, and military invasions on population movements and their impact on the ethnodemographic situation. The study also highlights the integration of Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Karakalpak, and other Turkic groups into the local population and the resulting ethnic transformations.
