However, Sogdians (eastern Iranians) and Khorezmians, as well as the inhabitants of the territory of Afghanistan, are counted among the Aryans. And there is not a single reference that they are Turanians. Undoubtedly, the modern interpretation of the terms Turanians and Turan is illogical. Possibly , the border of Turan was between Amu Darya and Syr Darya and Turanians were only Saka-like nomads . The border of Turan was mobile due to confrontation between Turan and Iran.
Later, during Turkic expansions, the border of the Turan significantly advanced to the South, and just at that time the territory of Sogdiana can be called Turan(partly).

If you talk that Turks were recent and if you know the genetics of Proto-Turks, you can easily identify archaeological culture that was Proto-Turkic. This is very logical. So, from which archaeological culture did proto-Turk expansion begin?
