THE IMPORTANCE OF KHOREZM IN THE INTERNATIONAL TRADE SYSTEM

Abstract

This article discusses the unique place of Khorezm on the trade caravan routes. In particular, the importance of the trade system during the Timurid era and its significance for the country's economy and determining its place in the international political arena are described. At the same time, while reflecting on the political history of Khorezm, its aspirations to liberate Khorezm, which was divided into two under the Mongols, and the embassy relations and trade relations skillfully conducted by Amir Temur are reflected. The activity of various caravan routes is discussed separately, and its impact on the trade-embassy relations of Khorezm and expeditions to study the routes are also mentioned. We can see how important this was at the level of state policy in the sentences of Amir Temur's correspondence with foreign rulers, especially in the sentences related to trade relations. Including, when it comes to merchants, their role in trade relations is so incomparable that the activity of caravan routes is unimaginable without them. The culture of Central Asia, of course, was greatly influenced by trade relations and well-established embassy relations.
