Akimat of Abay region and The scientific gathering organized by Shakarim University was attended by well-known literary critics, historians, scientists and scholars of Kazakhstan and abroad, representatives of the intelligentsia, young researchers and students.

At the international scientific arena, scientists from Kazakhstan, Turkey and Uzbekistan gave a presentation and shared their current thoughts on Tursyn Zhurtbai's research works, his creative world and his place in national science. At the same time, the historical and theoretical problems of the system of artistic thinking in Kazakh literature were widely discussed.

The main goal of the conference is to scientifically analyze the contribution of Tursyn Zhurtbai to the development of Kazakh literary studies, Abai studies and Alash studies, to differentiate the scientist's creative personality, artistic and aesthetic pursuits and his place in national spirituality. passed. According to him, a number of important initiatives in the social and cultural life of the country, such as the first theater, the first football team, the first telegraph, the first teacher's seminary, were born in Semipalatinsk. That's why the name of Semipalatinsk as the "Home of the Firstborn" is a clear manifestation of the historical and spiritual potential of the city.

One of the great personalities who have flown from this historical environment is Tursyn Zhurtbay, a scientist, writer, wall figure who has devoted more than fifty years of his life to science, reviving the national consciousness and taking inventory of the darkest points of our history. In his speech, the mayor noted that the scientist early devoted himself to the study of the history of Alash, which was considered a closed topic during the Soviet Union, and became one of the prominent researchers who laid the foundations of the science of Alash. Tursyn Zhurtbay's creativity consists of five main directions that are closely related to each other. That's how we judge ourselves. We accept it as such. In particular, the first golden channel is careful study, the next great stream is distraction, the third steel beam is musicology, the fourth dull beginning is cognitive essay, and the fifth well-known milestone is historical essay. Through these works of the scientist, the obscure aspects of the history of the nation were revised, the heritage of historical figures was recognized from a new angle, and a scientific and spiritual heritage was formed that would be instructive for the next generation. I believe that today's conference is not only a celebration of the scientist's anniversary, but also a propaganda of intellectuals that honors the scientist to our youth, - he concluded.

At the opening of the scientific gathering, Shakarim University Rector Duman Orynbekov:

- The name of Tursyn Zhurtbay is especially dear to Shakarim University. Our university regularly conducts work aimed at promoting the creativity of the scientist, who is completely intertwined with the spiritual and scientific space of Semipalatinsk, and presenting his scientific heritage to the younger generation.

Tursyn Kudakeldiuly - Honorary Professor of Shakarim University, Shakarim Medal Winner This is a clear sign of spiritual and scientific continuity of the scientist with our university. As a concrete example of this continuity, I would like to highlight the opening of the Tursyn Zhurtbay Lecture Hall of Alash Studies in our university this year,- he said.

The next speaker, Professor of Mimar Sinan University (Turkey), Doctor of History, Shokaitologist Abdivakap Kara, gave a speech on the topic "Tursyn Zhurtbay, the genealogist of the Alash spirit" and spoke about the scientist's research on the legacy of Alash. focused on his work.

- When talking about elder Tursyn, the first thing that comes to mind is that he collected archival data on Alash figures, introduced Soviet investigation materials into scientific circulation, and studied the fate of persecuted Kazakh intellectuals. This is a very important direction of his scientific activity. However, today I want to tentatively call Tursyn Zhurtbai "the chronicler of the spirit of Alash". If we continue the dreams of historical figures, their ideas and ideals, we will get a genealogy other than the traditional genealogy. We come to the genealogy of spirit, ideal and historical memory. In my opinion, the history of Alash is the history of the events that took place, but the history of the ideals and values that the spirit of Alash led the people who created those events forward,- says the scientist who came from Turkey with sweat on horseback.

Baurzhan Erdembekov, professor of Shakarim University, doctor of philology "In the researches of Tursyn Zhurtbai, current problems of modern literary studies" gave a speech on the topic and focused on the significance of the scientist's works in today's science of conservation.
