Summary/Abstract: Generally, in the history books, coming to Anatolia of Turks are connected to Malazgirt Victory. If this date is taken as basis, it is assumed that before this date, there were not Turks in Anatolia. However, this preacceptance leads to misunderstanding of Turkish history. Moreover, this situation serves to weaken the ties of the Turks with their histories and Anatolian geography. With this dimension, it strengthens the argument that Anatolia belongs to other nations. However, recent researches and findings in various excavations reveal that this approach is not correct and that the Turks are based on ancient histories of the development of Anatolia. This study aims to further investigate of historians in this subject in order to remove the confusion in this subject. Thus, it is aimed to intensify the attention of historians to the subject. If this is done and both the country and the world committee are fed with the right information, it will be achieved for the purpose of work.
