Pan Turkism is a very dangerous ideology and seems that many Turkic are supporting it. The Turkic are blind to the fact that under Pan Turkism in Turkey, 99% of the Christian are exterminated. This is the reason today Turkey is 99.8 Islam, while Levant Arabic countries still have significant Christian. Other than that, Turkish Shia muslim also get shitt. The Han Chinese vs Pan Turkism towards minority is like God vs Satan.
Today Pan Turkic cult is inflicting certain elements of Uighur in Xinjiang. If Pan Turkism has their way, all minorities in Xinjiang will be in trouble. In fact Pan Turkism is hated even by many Turks themselves. Iranian elites are Azerbaijani Turks. Ayatollah Kamenei is Azerbaijani Turks. In the war of Nagono Karabak, Islam Iran stand firmly behind Christian Armenia against Islam Azerbaijan, while Turkey support Azerbaijan.
Nevertheless, it is clear that Turkey is emerging. Pan Turkism could become a fad in coming decades. With the rise of Turkey, prepare for more trouble in Xinjiang.
I have did some research in Turkic languages. Although it is a wild exaggeration that a Turk can understand one another from Yumen to adriatic sea, but the mutual intelligibility of Turkic language is far more higher than Sinitic lect such as Mandarin and Taiwanese.
