A visual depicting territories that, to some Turkish nationalists,
constitute the Turanian homeland
BY GAREN YEGPARIAN
The Department of State (DOS) of the U.S. of A. is a huge
establishment, with lots of resources, brains, and other talent. Yet,
somehow, the "experts" it has providing advice about Turkey and
Azerbaijan leave much to be desired. They seem to be really oblivious
to the threat of pan-Turkism, or pan-Turanism. This demented
ideology provided the undergirding for the Armenian Genocide,
is alive and well today, and, judging by some of the activities
and infrastructure-building undertaken by the culprits, will be
a destabilizing factor in the Middle East and Central Asia in the
not-too-distant future. The experts seem to be all-in for a policy of
"support Turkey no matter what."
Take a look at the accompanying picture (see legend here). It is
the opening visual of a YouTube video titled "2013 Turanian Army
established!"
The video shows footage and photos, mostly of what appear to
be Turkey's air force and other armed services. It is posted by
"Turanian Asker (soldier)", whose symbol is a grey wolf- presumably
the one which mothered all Turks according to that mythology. The
Grey Wolves, in Turkey, are/were a bunch of murderous chauvinistic
thugs who caused much mayhem in recent decades. I'm writing all this
to provide the context that our DOS experts seem to avoid examining.
The maps and flag-colors/motifs you see in the accompanying picture
are those of the territories that in some deranged minds constitute
the Turanian homeland that must be "united". Looking at the legend,
you'll notice that much of this territory is in Russia (RF), with
China (you might recall in "Turk vs. Turk" I referred to the Uyghurs
from China who were receiving training in Turkey, then fighting
in Syria, before returning home) and Ukraine also being targets of
Turkish/Azerbaijani expansionism- which is really what all this comes
down to. The Cooperation Council of Turkic Speaking States (CCTS)
(explore it yourself here), founded in 2005, consists of Azerbaijan,
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Turkey. Interestingly, something called
the "Turanian Army" or "Turanian National Front" was also formed that
year, though something is unclear to me and the "Army" may just be
an extremist's representation of the CCTS.
The CCTS is the formal, international, legal/political face of this
movement. Accompanying it is the "International Organization of Turkic
Culture" whose membership, according to its website, is comprised of
the following: Republic of Azerbaijan, Republic Of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz
Republic, Republic of Uzbekistan, Republic of Turkey, Turkmenistan,
Altai Republic (RF), Republic of Bashkortostan (RF), Gagauzia
(Moldova), Republic of Khakassia (RF), Turkish Republic of Northern
Cyprus, Republic of Sakha(Yakutia) (RF), Republic of Tatarstan (RF),
Tyva Republic (RF).
Notice the overlap between the list above and the list in the legend.
Then consider that CCTS lists, as its "related institutions"- Academy
of Turkic World, Parliamentary Assembly of Turkic Speaking States
- Turkpa, International Organization of Turkic Culture - Turksoy,
and Business Council of Turkic Speaking States. The "take it slowly"
approach is obvious ("Asbarez" has been reporting on their actions
as they occur) with Turkey and Azerbaijan developing relations with
the other regions, networking, waiting for the opportunity to pounce.
None of this seems to concern the DOS experts, since they must
surely be aware of it. Perhaps they should follow the activities
of this "Turanian Army" group, which, if it exists, is probably the
grass-roots arm of the effort to realize the Turks' pipe-dreams. They
should read Zarevand's "United & Independent Tourania" for the Armenian
perspective, or go straight to the horse's mouth and read Zia Gokalp's
"Principles of Turkism," to cure their cluelessness.
Unchecked, the Turks will pursue this ridiculous ideology. Eventually,
it will lead to bloodshed when those who disagree with the Turks'
designs resist, or when the Turks decide those people are "in the way"
just as the Armenians were...
Why not make it your project? Find the names of the staffers at the
Turkey and Azerbaijan desks at the DOS, and send them relevant books
as gifts... Christmas is just around the corner!
