Historical Links Between
the Countries and
the Silk Road
Silk Road, also called the Silk Route, an ancient trade route, linking China with the West, that carried goods and ideas between the two great civilizations of Rome and China.
Silk went westward, and wools, gold, and silver went east. China also received Nestorian Christianity and Buddhism (from India) via the Silk Road.
An abundance of goods traveled along the Silk Road. Merchants carried silk from China to Europe, where it dressed royalty and wealthy patrons. Other favorite commodities from Asia included jade and other precious stones, porcelain, tea, and spices. In exchange, horses, glassware, textiles, and manufactured goods traveled eastward.
Products such as silk were very valuable to those in Central Asia and as far away as Europe. They paid with precious metals, animal skins, and some of their own manufactured products such as woolen goods, carpets, and glass products that were prized in the East.
The trade route was formerly established sometime during BC times, and the journey could be treacherous at times, due to volatile international relations between nations along the way. Originally, it started in Xi’an and traced the Great Wall of China into Afghanistan. From there, the road passed through Middle Eastern and Mediterranean countries and then onto Europe. Trading routes grew and adapted to the demands of trade. Eventually, a matrix of paths connected far-flung nations across Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia, and Southeast Asia, which then connected to maritime routes that joined Oceania, Africa, and parts of Asia to the northern hemisphere.

The Silk Road was a network of ancient trade routes, formally established during the Han Dynasty of China in 130 BCE, which linked the regions of the ancient world in commerce between 130 BCE and 1453 CE.
The Silk Road routes stretched from China through India, Asia Minor, up throughout Mesopotamia, to Egypt, the African continent, Greece, Rome, and Britain.
The greatest value of the Silk Road was the exchange of culture. Art, religion, philosophy, technology, language, science, architecture, and every other element of civilization was exchanged along these routes, carried with the commercial goods the merchants traded from country to country.
The routes started at the old capital cities of Luoyang and Xi'an, crossed the Yellow River at Lanzhou, and then followed the Gansu Corridor into Xinjiang. At Dunhuang, the route split three ways: the northernmost branch crossed north around the Tianshan Mountains and the other two crossed north and south of the Taklamakan Desert or Tarim Basin.

From a geographical point of view, the territory of the modern Republic of Kazakhstan is situated in the middle of the historical corridors of the Silk Roads.
The main route ran through Semirechye and South Kazakhstan, went through the cities of Sairam, Yassy, the homeland of al-Farabi, the city of Otrar, Taraz, then to Central Asia, Persia, the Caucasus, and from there to Europe.
The Republic of Kazakhstan is the “birthplace” of the One Belt One Road Initiative (BRI) thus it has strategic relevance to it, highlighting Kazakhstan’s critical transit role in China’s pivot to the world and especially Europe.
The Trans-Caspian International Transport Route (TITR), a 6500-kilometer long corridor, links Asia with Europe and passes through countries including Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Turkey. It is meant to coordinate all transporters along with the route from Asia to Europe and vice versa.

Dagestan, the Caucasus, the Lower Don region, Kalmykia, the area around the Sea of Azov, and the Taman Peninsula are all territories traversed by the Silk Roads.
The Volga region is where the Silk Roads intersect with the Great Volga River Route, another Eurasian trade artery.

Central Asian merchants, that provided Byzantium with Chinese silk, tried to explore a new route, namely, the one going to the north from the Caspian Sea, crossing the Caucasus range (via Dariali gorge or other passes in West Georgia), and proceeded to Byzantium via Georgia. It is known that the first caravan loaded with silk passed this route in 568.

Besides the Silk Roads sites and stunning natural beauty, the Silk Roads customs and culture are still alive in Kyrgyzstan in a way that there are still several nomad tribes who live in felt yurts out on the steppes.
The lands of Kyrgyzstan remain at an integral crossroads: acting as a gateway for those traveling both East and West on the Silk Roads.

Since ancient times, Azerbaijan has played an important role as a melting pot of civilizations, serving as a venue and major transfer point for different cultural traditions and customs.
The goods and products of Azerbaijani towns and settlements spread along the Silk Roads and its towns had long been known to act as centers of culture, science, and education.
Oil, carpets, raw silk, silk fabrics, cotton, weapons, dried fruits, salt, precious stones, jewelry, alum, saffron, natural dyes, polychrome pottery, wooden utensils, non-ferrous metals, sturgeons, and caviar ironwood were the main exports of Azerbaijan.
The country has passed various stages of spiritual life over its long history. Tolerance is a feature that was reinforced during the times of the Silk Roads.

The most notable part of the Silk Road in Turkey is that it runs between Konya and Cappadocia. The caravan route was blocked by a modern gravel highway, but many Seljuk caravanserais have been preserved.
Under the Seljuk Turks that the Ancient Silk Road really came into its own and most of the Hans and Caravanserais to be found across Turkey date from Seljuk times. Nearly one hundred Seljuk caravanserais along the Silk Road still exist in lands once controlled by the Seljuks.

Top Questions and
Interesting Facts about
Belt and Road
The Silk Road was an ancient trade route that linked the Western world with the Middle East and Asia. It was a major conduit for trade between the Roman Empire and China and later between medieval European kingdoms and China.
The Silk Road began in north-central China in Xi’an (in modern Shaanxi province). A caravan track stretched west along the Great Wall of China, across the Pamirs, through Afghanistan, and into the Levant and Anatolia. Its length was about 4,000 miles (more than 6,400 km). Goods were then shipped to Europe via the Mediterranean Sea.
Chinese merchants exported silk to Western buyers. From Rome and later from Christian kingdoms, wools, gold, and silver traveled eastward.
Apart from material goods, religion was one of the West’s major exports along the Silk Road. Early Assyrian Christians took their faith to Central Asia and China, while merchants from the Indian subcontinent exposed China to Buddhism. The disease also traveled along the Silk Road.
A caravan is a group of people traveling together, often on a trade expedition. Caravans were used mainly in desert areas and throughout the Silk Road, where traveling in groups aided in defense against bandits as well as helped to improve economies of scale in trade.
Caravan routes or the corridors of the Silk Roads were a unique instrument of transmission of economic, linguistic, cultural, religious, military, and political values and innovations between different civilizations across the Eurasian continent.

Parts of the Silk Road survive in the form of a paved highway connecting Pakistan and the Uyghur Autonomous Region of Xinjiang in China. In the 21st century the United Nations planned to sponsor a trans-Asian motor highway and railroad. The Silk Road also inspired China’s Belt and Road Initiative, a global infrastructure development strategy authored by President and General Secretary Xi Jinping.
One Belt One Road (OBOR) is China's global infrastructure project to place the country within the protected road and sea networks. According to President Xi Jinping, it also protects export routes by partnering with previously economically isolated countries.
China Belt and Road is an infrastructure project the Chinese government proposed to build The Silk Road Economic Belt (a network of roads) and the 21st century Maritime Silk Road (a bunch of sea routes).
Policy lenders provide funding and base their lending decisions on presidential and geostrategic influences. This group includes the China Development Bank and the Export-Import Bank of China (Exim Bank), which have committed more than $1 trillion. The Silk Road Fund has $40 billion in investment funds. China's Central Bank oversees it. The Asia Infrastructure Investment Bank, whose remit now includes Africa, has $100 billion in capital.
