In the 9th - 10th centuries the empire of Yenisei Kyrgyz formed from the Irtysh River in the west to the Big Khingan range in the east, from the Angara and Selenga Rivers in the north to the Gobi Desert in the south. Finally the Russian historian Barthold presented the Great Kyrgyz Empire.

The Mongol Rule put the tragic spot in the history of Kyrgyzstan and Central Asia in 13th century. It was a period of great Mongol conquest. They formed an army whose ruler was Genghis Khan and ruined the territory of Central Asia and demolished the Turkic culture.
