I really can't understand. Why did Turks fought among themselves. This really makes me sad. Today it looks like the most of the world doesn't really like Turks.

This question is a little bit strange. It's the very human nature to fight among themselves. And the wars among relatives and brothers as a rule are usually even more bloody and cruel than usual. What really surprises me is how the humankind has been still able to exist after so many years since it invented the nuclear weapons... And, don't worry about the world, at list I am a big fan of Turks ;D

Nomads always fight amongst themselves. Been this way for thousands of years.

It's all about establishing hegemony over the others.

Tribal warfare is every time difficult to understand. But in the past it was common all over the world. The germanic tribes did fight against each other. And in the today USA/Canada there were long fights between Iroqois and Hurons for example.
f you ask for the reasons I think you will get many answers. All from a different point of view.

Nomads fight over land. Because they have no ties to the land they usually retreated easily. Nomadic peopple usually did not have many casualties in there wars. Over time many tries developed fueds and rivalries. They fought for honor or revenge. The crow, souix, blackfoot and nez peire fought the same way. Most of the things written about trhes peoples were by there enemies. The nomads rarely knew how to right!

Nomad tribes suffered higher casualties than settled civilizations in case when the caravans of the women and children are attacked, whole tribes could be deleted from history in a day.

They would have had the chance to escape though. They could take most of there possestions with them. Cities that were attacked had far higher casualties. Think about the siege of CAthadge, Siege of Jeruelum, Siege of Bagdahd. People stayed in the city for days after they were conquered.
