This long adventure of the Kyrgyz people, who settled in the Pamir Mountains with the exile of the Russian tsarist from the Kyrgyz lands and made the high mountains known as the roof of the world their home, started exactly a century ago.
The Kyrgyz, who managed to survive at high altitudes, migrated to the lands of East Turkestan as a result of the pressure of the Tsarist. After the Communist China's invasion of East Turkestan in 1949, they immigrated to Afghanistan, and in 1979 they faced the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.
The forced migration of Kyrgyz people, who were accustomed to the cold high in the Pamir mountains, to Pakistan opened the door to new challenges. The Kyrgyz, who got used to the cold weather at high altitudes, started to lose their lives when the temperature dropped to 60 degrees. Then the USA offered to settle in Alaska. However, fearing that the Kyrgyz would lose their language and religion, they rejected this offer of the USA and sought asylum in Turkey, where their brothers lived, in 1980. Since then, they have continued their lives in the Ulupamir village of Van, keeping their millennial culture alive.
The GZT team set out to tell the unique story of the Kyrgyz people, from the Pamir Mountains, one of the mountain ranges of Turkestan, to the Ulupamir village of Anatolia.
