gokce said:I once or twice may have done the same mistake because of repeated exposure to the word "Turkic". However I believe everyone of us Turks should protest the usage of the word "Turkic" to describe Turks outside of Turkiye.
They are not less Turkish than we are, and we are not less Turkish than they are. "Turkic" is a made up word, a propaganda. And we should be clever enough not to buy that! And no matter how much we are exposed to such imposations by foreigner politicans, we should understand its true danger and agree on refusing it completely.
Because in the end we are all Turkish.
The technical ethnic term for Turkish people in Anatolia is Turkish. The name "Turkic" encompasses a whole range of Altaic groups throughout Eurasia.
