Fascinating to read. You see, there were indeed pan-Turkic aspirations among some Turkish intellectuals for a certain period.
Strangely, the idea of pan-Turkism had been invented in Hungary, from where it went to Turkey, based on certain grammatical similarities between the Turkic languages and the Finno- Ugric ones.
The idea of pan-Turkism did indeed influence some of the Young Turks, if I remember correctly.
Still, I suppose that the great days of pan-Turkic ideas are gone now. Alparslan Türkes, the last notable Turkish politician who supported those ideas for a while, has been dead now for 27 years…
Islamism is what is the „latest fashion“ nowadays.
I knew Alparslan Türkes was a “Turkish nationalist”, and founder of the Nationalist Movement Party as well as leader of the notoriuos Grey Wolves. I did not know of him as a “pan Turkic” proponent.
