A. D. Vasiliev's report " Romanization of the Turkic alphabets in the Crimea in 1924-1928 (based on the materials of M. Nedim's report to the Central Committee of the Russian Academy of Sciences in 1928)" was devoted to the issue of Romanization of the Turkic alphabets in the Crimea. The 1st All-Union Turkological Congress was held in Baku from February 26 to March 6, 1926. The decisions of the congress determined the course of development of Turkology and cultural construction in the Turkic-speaking regions of Russia for many years to come. The Congress was given, in addition to scientific, political and social significance in connection with the discussion of the problems of romanization of alphabets for national languages and programs for the cultural development of regions.

Interesting are the documents of the Crimean Committee of the New Turkic Alphabet, created in 1924, which are kept in the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences in the fund 676 "All-Russian Central Committee of the New Turkic Alphabet". An important type of source on the romanization of the alphabets of the Turkic peoples of Crimea is the annual reports of the Crimean NTA Committee, which were sent to the Central Committee in Baku. While working in the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the author of the report discovered one of the first reports of the Crimean Committee on the activities of introducing a new alphabet in the Crimea, compiled by M. Nedim and M. Lyatyfzade (ARAN, f. 676, op. 1, d. 34, l. 152-158 with vol.). Although the report is dated

On March 7, 1928, in the introduction, the authors highlighted the initial period of Romanization in the Crimea. In particular, the participation of Bekir Choban-zade in these processes is mentioned.

T. A. Anikeeva's report "A. N. Samoilovich's research in the Crimean Tatar language and literature" was devoted to one of the most important periods in the development of Russian Turkology - the pre-revolutionary period, when academic Oriental studies (in particular, Turkology) and its institutes were born and established. The nature of most of the works of Oriental studies published during this period was determined by practical necessity: many dictionaries of Turkic languages, textbooks, phrasebooks and grammars with various purposes were published.

Research in the field of the Crimean Tatar language is reflected in the scientific works of A. N. Samoilovich (both in separate, separate and unpublished articles, and in a small "Short Grammar of the Crimean Tatar language"). First of all, he was concerned with the place of the Crimean Tatar language in the system of classification of Turkic languages; the degree of its convergence with the" Ottoman-Turkish " literary language, the differentiation of various dialects and dialects of the Crimean Tatar language. The Crimean Tatar language and its dialects were considered by the scientist as sources of not only linguistic information about the development of modern Turkic languages, but also ethnographic and historical data (for example, the names of days of the week, the content of labels of Crimean khans, etc.).

Speech by O. M. Kournikova " Trade and economic relations of the Crimean Khanate and Eyalet Kefe in the XVI-XVIII centuries."it caused a discussion concerning the problems of exporting goods from Crimea in the specified historical period, in particular, issues related to the slave trade, the source of which was the Crimean Khanate. In 1475, Crimea was conquered by the Ottoman Empire. Its coastal part, the Kerch and Taman Peninsulas formed the Kefe sanjak, which was transformed into an eyalet in the 16th century. The Crimean Khanate, a vassal of the Ottoman Empire, is located in the inner steppe part of the Crimea. Due to its favorable geographical location, Crimea has always actively participated in trade relations as an important link between the West and the East. Since ancient times, sea transit routes have passed through Crimea, connecting countries, peoples and states. With the arrival of the Ottomans in the Crimea, the flourishing trade and economic life of the region froze a little, but later revived and even surpassed the level of the Genoese period. Crimea remained an important center of international trade, the structure of which has not changed significantly since the 15th century: the sale of grain, leather, and seafood took a prominent place, while the slave trade was in the first place. Goods came from the Ottoman Empire and various countries to the ports of Crimea (Kefe, Sudak, Kerch, etc.) and went in transit to the surrounding regions, and goods of local Crimean production were exported to the Ottoman Empire, Europe and Asia.

One of the main suppliers of various goods in eyalet Kef was the Crimean Khanate. According to O. M. Kournikova, based on the Turkish characters of the XVI century, labels of Crimean khans, travel notes of travelers, information of foreign ambassadors, diplomats and officials who visited Crimea at different times, it is possible to trace and study the trade and economic relations of the Crimean Khanate and Sanjak, and then eyalet Kefe in the XVI-XVIII centuries. export of goods, development of local production and crafts.

During the conference, an exhibition of works by contemporary Crimean Tatar artists was held, as well as guests and participants of the conference were invited to visit the Khan's Palace in Bakhchisarai, an excursion to Ak-Kaya, to the ruins of Tash Khan-an inn built during the city's heyday (XV century), when one of the branches of the Great Silk Road passed through Karasubazar. Now the remains of the walls of Tash Khan are located in the center of Belogorsk.

In conclusion, the award ceremony was held for the winners of the III Crimean International Turkological Conference. In 2015, he became a laureate of the International prize named after V. I. Abramovich. Bekira Choban-zadeh became a lecturer at the Turkish Technical University of Karadeniz Derya Derin Pashaoglu, who prepared a historical work of the XVIII century for publication.

The event was held at a high scientific and organizational level, and during the discussion, issues of possible further cooperation between the Institute of Information Technology of the Russian Academy of Sciences and scientific organizations of the Crimea were discussed. A collection of reports will be published as a result of the conference.
