Associate Professor of the Department of History of Ukraine, a well-known historian and Ottoman scholar Oleksandr Sereda gave a number of interviews to the national news agency “Ukrinform”. O. Sereda is one of the few scholars of Ukraine who read and interpret the Ottoman-Turkish language. As the researcher noted, in documents of the 17th – 18th centuries from the Ottoman archives of Turkey and Bulgaria, Ukrainians are called the “Cossack nation”. The scholar has processed a significant number of archival documents and acquainted the readers of “Ukrinform” with his scientific achievements, in particular, with the translation of a document of the 18th century, which testifies not only to the international recognition and support of Cossack Ukraine, but also to its vision as an independent state.
