I know you didn't asked me, but in my opinion anybody can feel close to turkic peoples. You don't necessarily have to be part turkic or have asian blood.
It's personal preference. We have plenty of common words and similar background. Is it not enough?
I'm so tired of this ugric bullshit over and over again. Nobody denies the origin of the language but the turkic side shoudn't be swept under the rug either. Those who consider themselfs turanists are not always a crazy turk maniac.
I personally consider myself turkic for my own entertainment. I'm not saying I am 100% turkic. Im just more interested in them, than finno ugrics. I never cared for them. I'm sure they also have beautiful cultures, but it's not my cup of tea. I was always more interested in steppe things. I'm practicing archery too, cuz why the fuck not.
Lastly I like them because they are really friendly and often supports us. Some think we shoudn't consider them our brothers because of the ottoman times. Like I give a fuck about what happened 500 years ago. Ridiculous.
Sorry if it seems like I'm taking my anger out on you(not my intention). It's just that I'm pretty fed up being labeled as a crazy person by some geniuses(not you) just because I like and support a certain group of people.
