He is best known for founding the first Turkic state and uniting various Turkic tribes under his rule. His leadership marked a significant period in the history of the Turkic peoples, as he established a centralized government and promoted trade and cultural exchange. Under Bumin Khagan's rule, the Gokturk Khaganate expanded its territory and influence, becoming a formidable power in the region.
