Abstract
Description
As noted by B. Kochnev, the greatest and widely recognized specialist in the history of the Karakhanids, the Karakhanids included themselves among the descendants of the legendary king of Turan - Afrosiyab, and called their dynasty "al-Afrosiyab" - the descendants of Afrosiyab, in written sources they were called the Khanis or the Khaqanis. The American expert Robert Dankoff assumed that the real original name of Afrosiyab, the ancestor of the Karakhanids, was Alp Er Tunga. The Karakhanid system of statehood is based on the experience and traditions of the statehood of the Turkic states that preceded it, such as the Turkic khanate and the Turkash state. The Karakhanid dynasty made good use of these experiences in state administration, in turn, developed it and brought it to a new stage of development.
