The Quran, translated into the Old Turkic language in the 10th century during the Karakhanid era, was presented in Turkistan. This unique edition, published by the International Turkic Academy, is the oldest and most complete version of the translation of the holy book that has survived to our time. The edition is currently kept in the Turkish and Islamic Arts Museum in Istanbul.
“The manuscript was prepared for publication by scientists, including a renowned scholar from the Istanbul University and a doctoral student from the Eurasian National University. The Holy Quran was specially published by the International Turkic Academy,” said Darkhan Kydyrali, President of the International Turkic Academy.
