At the conference, scientists and researchers made scientific presentations on various aspects of the history and culture of the Kushanian state, the results of archaeological research and the importance of the historical monuments of Tajikistan in the study of this important historical period, and emphasized the important position of the Kushanian state in the history of the development of the political, economic and cultural life of the region.
At the conference, issues related to the study of historical inscriptions, characteristics of material culture, development of crafts, burial rites, political and economic system and cultural relations of the Kushan state with neighboring civilizations were discussed.
The main goal of the conference was to study and discuss important issues of the history and culture of the Kushan state based on archaeological materials and historical monuments of Tajikistan, as well as to determine the role of this state in the formation of the Tajik nation and the development of the civilization of the Central Asian region.
It was said that the Kushan state is one of the important historical states of Central Asia, and their first land is the present-day territory of Tajikistan, and the monuments left from this glorious period confirm the above. In ancient times, this state made a significant contribution to the development of the political, economic, social and cultural life of the region, and between the 1st century BC and the 3rd century AD, it was among the empires of the ancient world: the Ashkanians, the Roman Empire and the Chinese Khanate.
In this context, the views of the President of the Republic of Tajikistan, Honorable Emomali Rahmon, on the historical status of the Kushanian state are of special importance. In particular, the Leader of the Nation in his work "Tajiks in the Mirror of History" considers the Kushan state as "a golden link in the chain of statehood of the Turanian Aryans" and emphasizes its role in strengthening the traditions of statehood, supporting the Great Silk Road and the development of human civilization in Central Asia. This opinion reflects the special place of the Kushans in the history of the region and the importance of studying, preserving and presenting the historical and cultural heritage of this period for understanding the political, economic and cultural processes of the ancient world.
Archaeological monuments discovered in the territory of Tajikistan are of great importance for the study of the political, military, economic and cultural history of this period and for determining the characteristics of the development of crafts and other occupations.
The holding of the conference "Research of the history and culture of the Kushans on the example of the ancient monuments of Tajikistan" provides a basis for the exchange of scientific experience, the presentation of new research results, and the strengthening of cooperation between scientific and cultural institutions, and contributes to the study, preservation and presentation of the historical and cultural heritage of Tajikistan.
