A Turkic version of -stan suffix

Post Body
Hey everyone! I'm doing some research on the history of Central Asia and I've noticed that countries such as Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan all end in -stan, which is a suffix of Persian origin, despite those countries being inhabited by speakers of Turkic languages. So if, say, Uzbekistan wanted to rename itself as "land of the Uzbeks" but change the Persian suffix with a Turkic suffix, what would that be? Since I don't speak any Turkic language, I thougth I'd ask you.
