[SKYNET]

There is a common misconception about this turanism idea.

This is not invented by Turks. Turanism idea has been created by Hungarian nationalists in late 19th century and turanists ruled in hungary during 1940s. Also the current turanist Jobbik party in Hungary has around 20% support.

On the other hand, turanism always favored by a small minority in Turkey and they were never able to govern Turkey. Currently the only party which can be associated with turanism is MHP in Turkey. They have around 13% support here but the thing is, not everyone in MHP are turanists. They are minority even in the ranks of nationalist MHP party but the case is different with Hungarian Jobbik party. All teh Jobbik supporters are hardcore turanists.

So, if you have a problem with turanism, you should deal with Hungarians, not with Turks

I don't really know what "the Great Turan" is supposed to mean, but I support political and economical cooperation between independent Turkic countries, and improved cultural relations between Turkic peoples in all countries. There are two (incomplete) organizations for those purposes:

The Turkic Council is an international organization comprising Turkic countries. It was founded on 3 October 2009 in Nakhchivan. The General Secretariat is in Istanbul, Turkey. The member countries are Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Turkey. The remaining two Turkic states, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan are not currently official members of the council due to their neutral stance. However they are possible future members of the council.

The Joint Administration of Turkic Arts and Culture is an international cultural organization of countries with Turkic populations, speaking languages belonging to the Turkic language family.

General director is Duisen Kaseinov, former Minister of Culture of Kazakhstan. TÜRKSOY has its headquarters in Ankara, Turkey.

Members:

- Altai Republic
- Azerbaijan
- Bashkortostan
- Gagauzia
- Kazakhstan
- Khakassia
- Kyrgyzstan
- Northern Cyprus
- Sakha Republic
- Tatarstan
- Turkey
- Turkmenistan
- Tuva
- Uzbekistan

This map is not related with turanism at all. At least you could try to google translate before posting here. The article mentions about the participation of folkloric dance teams to a dance festival in Turkey from Turkic states and the Tatars in Poland.

lol sorry, I've forgot to use. Anyway, we don't support Turanism in Europe, including Caucasus and Balkans. I saw enough videos from youtube.com about "Great Turanism" and other Islamic brothership

Why not? It seems like a cool idea, just like pan-Slavism.
