Looks like nobody read what i posted so i wll post it again:
Dont see why some of you guys insult each other (or their countries)
It is true that assimilation and Turkification did happen in todays Turkey but mixing between ethnicies and races were always the case and still are even today.
While there are of course idiots who think that Turks and Mongolians are the same most dont think like that.
What is important to all this is that both the Turks and Mongolians have the same origin and before modern times even the same way of life and religion so why should we divide each other?
In the end it doesnt matter if someone has minimal or no genetical relation to the "original Turks" but more about what culture and what language they have.
(Since nobody even knows what genetical imput the Göktürks had)
And in defense to the Anatolian Turks almost all Turkics are mixed :
1. Tatars with Slavs and Ugrics
2. Turks with Greeks/Armenians/Circassians/Laz
3. Azeris with Persians/Caucasian people
4. Uyghurs with Tocharians
5. Uzbeks with Tajiks
Also Atawolf you are much to easily agitated and offended, instantly insulting people who have a different point of view.
All in all it can be said that Turkic and Mongolic people were cousins who always were rivals to each other.
(The same can be said about the Turkic people)
Me think to truelly understand the history of Mongolian and Turkic people, one must understand their tribal society and way of living. Turkic people above else have loyalty to their clan, which usually caused conflicts with fellow Turkic/Mongolian tribes. For Chengiz Khan to unite all of these tribes into one big federation is truelly an accomplishment. You have some pakistani members claiming Mongolians massacred Turkic tribes, which is true to some degree but it wasnt selectivly. Mongolians massacred each other plentyfull times, destroying rival clans and tribes.
The thing i find the most interesting about the Turkic identity is that it isnt neccesarely based on ethnicity.
Btw are you really an Kyrgyz?
