Abstract

This article explores the development of the spiritual values of Turkic peoples in the context of globalization while preserving their national identity. While globalization encourages integration into global culture, it also poses challenges in maintaining traditions and heritage. The increasing interconnectedness of the world can sometimes overshadow local values, leading to a potential loss of cultural identity. The study utilizes both theoretical and empirical methods, including content analysis of literary and media materials, comparative analysis of Turkic spiritual values with other cultures, and a historical-chronological approach to trace their evolution. It draws on scholarly works and legal documents to provide a well-rounded analysis. The findings suggest that although globalization influences cultural transformation, the spiritual and philosophical foundations of Turkic heritage remain crucial. Adaptation strategies, such as promoting cultural values on global platforms and reinforcing national identity, are necessary to preserve these traditions. The study emphasizes the need to balance integration with cultural preservation, highlighting that maintaining spiritual heritage in a globalized world offers new opportunities for development. Strengthening national identity while fostering cross-cultural dialogue ensures that the spiritual wealth of the Turkic peoples remains significant and recognized globally. This balance helps preserve the richness of Turkic culture while participating in the broader global conversation.
