  Silk
industry, had taken a very important place of various
nations from ancient times; and silk and spice coming
from Far East, had played an important role for
Western world in international relations. Silk is
also maintained the identification of Eastern Culture
by Western societies.
Transportation of silk and spice
of east via caravans, is formed the commercial roads
reaching to Europe from China. In Medieval Age,
commercial caravans, had started to their voyages
from today's Chinese Xian city, and reach to the
Kashgar city of Uzbekistan; they were reaching to
Hazar Sea from Afghanistan plains with following
the first one of the roads separated into two there;
and to Anatolia over Iran with climbing over Karakorum
Mountains with other one. They were going to Europe
via road over Thrace or via maritime lines from
Anatolia.
In this commercial movement improving
from east to west, a road network, used since previous
ages, had been benefited. These thousands of kilometers
long caravan roads, which allow cultural relations
between continents besides dense transportation
of silk, porcelain, paper, spice and jewelry, are
named as "Silk Road" in the course of time.
 Silk
Road, beyond being a commercial road connecting
Asia to Europe, is holding the signs of cultures,
religions and races, who lived in the region for
2000 years, and serves an extraordinary history
and cultural wealth. After gaining of independence
of Middle Asia Turkish Republics, re - animation
of silk road both as a commercial road and also
a historical and cultural value is considered, and
works for protection and existence of structures
which are constructed throughout this road but not
used today with giving them new functions, is commenced.
