While it is known that the Alash Orda had a complex relationship with Russian political forces, the discovery of this request for international assistance and recognition uncovers a fundamentally new aspect of its activities. The request to Japan was made after the White Russian government's order to dissolve all regional governments in November 1918, which threatened the survival of the Alash Orda. This request, rooted in the Kazakh intellectuals' interest in Japan as a developed Modern Japan, and the Middle East and Muslim world.

They organized their own communities and kept in touch with each other. This paper focuses on the activities of Abdülvahap Oktay, a Turkestani (or Uzbek) émigré during the 1940s and 1950s. Oktay was educated in Germany and his importance among Turkestani émigrés was maintained even after his emigration to Turkey. The correspondence between Oktay and his friends/colleagues, which was incidentally found by this author, illustrates his contacts within and outside the community. Oktay's publication is one of the subjects. For example, a Turkestani emigrant to Adana mentioned in his letter the journal Türkistan (1953), with which Oktay engaged. Another important subject is the last days of Ayaz Đshaki, who was leader of the Volga-Ural Turks and passed away in July, 1954. One letter explains the process of electing a new leader. This letter also describes the international anti-Soviet meetings in Munich, in which Oktay participated as a Turkestani delegate in 1958. According to a letter to his wife and colleague, Oktay kept in touch with Americans in the Turkish Front in accordance with émigré organizations in Idil-Ural, Azerbaijan, among others. In addition, we read about situations of Turks in Finland in letters from his old friends. Although Oktay's correspondence tells us about the "Turkic World" of émigrés, some struggles existed within their communities.

Japanese General Staffs dispatched several officers to Xinjiang to support the Siberia Intervention. This paper reviews the mission's activities and concerns on intelligence, economic interests and propaganda, especially those of the so-called 'Japanese consul in Gulja', Captain Nagamine. The Japanese mission had a keen interest in the developments of the Russian Civil War in the Semirech'e and Semipalatinsk Oblasts. In Ili, Nagamine built relationships with the White Russian consul, leaders of nomads and others. Japanese officers reported activities of White Russian Cossacks in detail. Meanwhile, the Governor Yang Zengxin, was suspicious about possible conspiracies among members of the Japanese mission, Russian consuls and the Cossacks. Yang reported to Beijing that Japanese officers had attempted to bring the Japanese army to Xinjiang on the pretext of a joint defence and to interfere in Ili by letting the Cossacks advance into Bolshevik's Vernyi, which would pass through Xinjiang's territory. In addition, a report from Kashgar hinted that the Japanese army supported the anti-Soviet guerrilla Basmachis in the Fergana Valley. In early 1920, the Cossacks were defeated by the Red Army and fled to Xinjiang. Nagamine witnessed the disarmament of Commander Annenkov, with whom the Japanese in Urumchi seemed to have maintained a relationship even after Nagamine's departure from Ili. The Japanese mission also attempted to promote economic interests in Xinjiang. According to Etherton, the British consul-general in Kashgar, Japanese products flowed into Xinjiang in 1919, and Japan was considered a possible rival of Britain

These refugees were housed in refugee camps in Srinagar and finally immigrated to Turkey. American aid was extended to them through missionaries and by an anthropologist. Simultaneously , however, the involvement of the Americans caused the politicization of the Ka-zakh refugees with respect to Kashmir-related issues. American interests at the local level were highlighted by Adlai Stevenson's visit. J. Hall Paxton, the ex-American consul to Urumqi, maintained his attention on the Xinjiang refugees. This article considers the correspondence exchanged between Paxton and the Uyghur refugees who arrived in Srinagar earlier as a model of his efforts to include Kazakh migrants within America's favor. This attention stemmed from both humanitarian interest and, more importantly, the strategic value of the refugees. Paxton's appeal to Washington resulted in the adaption of the United States Escapee Program to incorporate Kazakh refugees, enabling their migration to Turkey. However, this program intended to utilize qualified escapees in covert operations. For the Americans, the Kazakh refugees represented the possibility of fulfilling their "political, psychological and intelligence" purposes, and could be considered as candidates for "Phase B" of America's operations against Soviet Russia.
