Is Mongolia the only country in Central Asia that still has the nomadic lifestyle. I would guess that around 40-50% of the population are nomads. What about in the other CA countries, has that lifestyle been totally wiped out???what about before communism???

In Kazakstan, majority of Kazaks lived a nomadic lifestyle until the Soviet collectivization of 1930s.
Today, you probably won't find any nomads in the country.
Kazak people in Western China and Western Mongolia still maintain the nomadic lifestyle.

Well most of them are living in Tents,but most of their horses taken by Uighurs when they built a state in Anatolia,today ý think less of them have horse.But they have sheeps,cows and goats. Today,Yoruk population starting to live in cities,we are losting our Nomads

I got the chance to visit a nomadic family near Antaly when i was in turkey, it was very nice and hospitable but unfortunately the picture taken of me in the tent didn't turned out well...

The Yörüks of Turkey look more like Arabic bedouins; I mean, look at their tents, they do not look like the tents of real horse-riding nomads of the Steppe. And they don't herd horses Surely, culturally and ethnicially they are Turkic but their nomadism looks more like Arabic bedouinism...

By the way, my grandmother's ancestors were Yörüks from Manavghat (on the Taurus Mountains) but they moved to Akvîrân-Qonya in the late 18th or early 19th century.

hey, i thought about their tents... think this: the area where they live doesn't similar to CA. they dont need to keep warm themselves in big yurts. they live near to arabia and climate in their area, similar to arabia's climate. may that tents related to climate?
