What are the consequences of the end of the trial? In the Cold War era, Russian and Chinese expansionism gained pace in Asia. Russians tried to dominate Western Turkistan and China tried to dominate East Turkestan. In contrast, East Turkestan was struggling against Chinese domination. they have established associations of East Turkestan who migrated to Turkey occupies an important place in this struggle. The activities performed by the established association were instrumental in bringing the issue on Turkey's agenda. After 1980, the increase in the national media attention to the problems of the Turkish community outside our borders in Turkey, media activities on this issue in the agenda of the East Turkestan problem was instrumental in the formation of public opinion. . . . The development of Turkish-Chinese relations in the mid-1980s has made important visits to East Turkistan in terms of recognition of the Turks there. The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991, and some of the Turkish communities in Central Asia were independent. This was also a source of hope for East Turkestan. But China did not break apart as expected. The ethnic and religious minorities in the country were not separated. The support of the Western countries for the independence of the Russian dominated communities was not the case for East Turkestan. However, East Turkestan associations and non-governmental organizations accelerated their work after the 1990s. 4-6 February 1997 Gulca Massacre was a big reaction to world press and national press. At the end of the 1990s and early 2000s they intensified their work in the United States, European states, Australia and other free world countries.
