Scientific Research and Published Works of Professor Kadyrov Abdinabi Azambaevich of BatSU
Recently, on November 11, during Science Day at BatSU, two scientific works by Abdinabi Azambaevich, “Prosperous Batken: History and Culture” and “Batken City: History and Future,” were presented. These works are dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Kara-Kyrgyz Autonomous Region and the 25th anniversary of the establishment of Batken Region and the city of Batken. The works offer an in-depth scientific analysis of the Batken region, covering its history, culture, traditions, economy, crafts, and political figures.
The exploration of the region’s historical and cultural heritage includes mining, metalworking, and ancient petroglyphs. These themes are extensively covered in the research of scholar A. Kadyrov. His studies highlight the development levels of mining and metallurgy belonging to various eras. Additionally, A. Kadyrov’s research shows that mining in the territory of Kyrgyzstan first began in Batken. A clear example of this is his study of the Kan-i-Gut deposit. The extraction of local resources had significant economic importance for the society of that time, contributing to the development of craftsmanship and trade. According to A. Kadyrov’s research, the minerals extracted in Batken were exported as far as Baghdad.
In addition, the author of the mentioned work delved into the Batken petroglyphs. These rock carvings vividly depict the worldview, lifestyle, and activities of the ancient inhabitants of the region. The petroglyphs feature hunting scenes, daily life motifs, and symbols related to nature. A. Kadyrov was one of the first to introduce research in this area into the scientific discourse, making this a distinctive feature of his work.
A. Kadyrov’s studies highlight various aspects of the Batken region. From a historical perspective, the author examined Batken within the broader context of Central Asia, covering historical stages from ancient times and the Middle Ages to the Soviet era and the present day. The life of the region’s people, their connections with other areas, and the impact of significant historical events are thoroughly analyzed. Particular attention is given to the development of industry and social infrastructure during the Soviet era and the political and social changes following independence.
In the mentioned work, A. Kadyrov described the uniqueness of Batken’s climate, its beauty and diversity, as well as the region’s culture and traditions. A section of the work is dedicated to Batken’s cultural features, crafts, customs, and heritage. The author also examined the region’s economy, analyzing economic challenges, irrigation issues, and border problems. A. Kadyrov elaborated on the economic difficulties stemming from Batken’s geographical location and the potential for developing its mineral resources.
In A. Kadyrov’s research, topics such as the historical and cultural heritage of the Batken region, mining, and metalworking are explored. This creates a foundation for developing the tourism sector, offering tourists the opportunity to learn about the production methods of past eras. Additionally, the archaeological excavations conducted in Batken contribute to the development of tourism. At his initiative, archaeological excavations were organized in Batken for the first time since the Soviet era (since 1953). These findings provide tourists with unique information and experiences.
In A. Kadyrov’s scientific work “Prosperous Batken: History and Culture,” the Batken petroglyphs are also extensively covered. These petroglyphs are one of the most fascinating sites for tourists visiting Batken.
A. Kadyrov’s research and publications on Batken are valuable sources of information on the region’s history, culture, economy, crafts, and political figures. His works on border issues aim to deepen the understanding of regional problems and find solutions to them. These scientific works by A. Kadyrov will undoubtedly become an invaluable resource for studying the unique features of the Batken region.
