Trade relations between Bukhara and Yarkend khanates in the 16-earlier 17 centuries
Contrary to common the thesis, G. Sultonova argues that in the 16th and early 17th centuries trade relations between Bukhara and Yarkend khanates did not lose their importance despite long periods of political instability in the region. It was the stabilization of political situation in both states that increasingly consolidated these relations. In turn, this process contributed to the development of trade relations not only within the limits of the Central Asian region but also between the countries of the East and West.
