Pan-Turkism
Pan-Turkism seeks to unite all Turkic countries into a union which would safeguard their interests against their neighbours.
Pan-Turkism has its roots in the "Young Turks" who looked to free Turkic peoples from Russian rule after centuries of decline in the Ottoman Empire.
A map of how such a state would look:
I think the union would be more based on linguistic ties rather than actualy genetic ties since Turks in Anatolia are pretty European genetically:
According to Cinnioglu et al, (2004)[28] there are many haplogroups present in Turkey. The majority haplogroups are shared with European and Near Eastern populations as E3b, G, J, I, L, N, K2, R1, which form 94.1% from the Turkish Gene pool and contrast with only a minor share of haplogroups related to Central Asia C, Q, O - 3.4%, India H, R2 - 1.5% and Africa A, E3*, E3a - 1%. Some of the percentages identified were approximately:
Y chromosome Haplogroup distribution of Turkish people[28]
- J1=9% - Typical amongst people from the Arabian Peninsula.
- J2=24% - Typical amongst Near Eastern peoples.
- R1a=6.9% - Typical of Eastern Europeans
- I=5.3% - Typical of Central Europeans
- R1b=14.7% -Typical of Western Europeans
- G=10.9% - Typical of people from the Caucasus
- E1b1b=11.3% - Typical amongst populations of the Balkans.
- N=3.8% - Typical of Siberian populations
- T=2.5% - Typical of Mediteranean and South Asian populations
- K=4.5% - Typical of Asian populations.
- L=4.2% - Typical of Indian Subcontinent populations.
- Q=1.9% - Typical of Central Asian populations.
I personally oppose this ideology due to not only these factors but also due to the re-writing of history that comes with it.For one thing, such theories seem to neglect the massive cultural influence of Iranians on Turkic peoples in the past 1000 years.
