Abstract
This study is dedicated to explaining how the Kemalist Movement, which came into being under the leadership of Mustafa Kemal Pasha in Anatolia after the end of the First World War, was perceived in Central Asia and how it came into competition here with Bolshevism and Pan-Islamism, which were the dominant concepts of this period. In this context, the study focused on whether Kemalism constitutes an example of independence on behalf of population groups in Central Asia and wanted to determine how its effectiveness is in the face of Bolshevism and Pan-Islamism. The study, which aims to make sense of the presence of the Kemalist Movement in Central Asia, examined the developments in Iran, the Caucasus and India, which are occasionally connected to this region in the context of regional dynamics, and tried to reveal how the figure of Mustafa Kemal found a place in the minds of Eastern societies. In addition, the study aims to explain to the reader whether the Unionist identities of Enver, Cemal and Talat Pashas, who are controversial figures in the late Ottoman history, and their activities in Central Asia and the relations they developed with the Bolshevik Russians can be reconciled with the Kemalist Movement.
Keywords: Kemalist Hareket, Orta Asya, Bolşevizm, Panislamizm, Enver Paşa
