It was a big sacred area where the Gokturks, Uyghurs and later Mongols used as the main center of their empires. Both Qara Balghasun (also known as Ordu Balyq, capital of the Uyghurs) and Qara Qorum (capital of the Mongols) were built in this area and the famous Orkhon inscriptions of the Gokturks were erected there. However, before the Uyghurs founded Qara Balghasun, there were no cities in the Ötüken region, but as the political center of the Gokturks, there must have been a "tent city" there.

Thanks for the fast explanation. I was arguing with another person who assumed that the Goturks erected a city there.
