> what you call "Turkishness" is a race, part of whom stayed in Central Asia I am not sure if that is what I mean...I was referring to Turkishness as in the concept of modern Turkey. It is obvious that this is a separate entity in so many ways than the central Asian cultures that it should be considered a separate entity on its own right. Nor it Turkey predominantly made up of decedents of the Central Asian tribes. If I remember correctly, it was around 1370 that the nomadic turkish tribes began to rise to power and came to dominate the plateau of Anatolia. There was certainly a melding of various cultures in creation of what we now call Turkish culture (as oppose to turkish cultures). Taking the analogy to America, one can say that America is a very young nation. But of course if you look at it as continuation of some Europeans who came here, then it becomes a fairly old country. The differences in cultural development of Turkey and that of Central Asian tribes are even greater than that of America and Europe.
