Then I went to study my undergrad in Ankara. One of the courses I took was on Turkic/Steppe history. Professor was the most knowledgeable, passionate and inspiring person ever. He was just crazy about the subject and had the most interesting teaching methods. I wonder, who is he? :) His name is Hakan Kirimli, he is an Associate Professor at the Department of International Relations in Bilkent University. He teaches both Turkic and Russian history and speaks quite a few Turkic languages.

I think so too. I've taken History of Turkic and Muslim People of the Soviet Union as well as Russian History from him. It is amazing how much he knows and how passionate he is about the subject. All students just loved him.

and speaks quite a few Turkic languages. I admire him, I'm in the process of learning my second Turk language. I know Turkish and I'm learning Uygur. I think the easist way to learn many Turk languages is to learn one from each Turk group, the one which has the highest population. Then you could easiy and quickly learn the rest.

If you learn Uyghur, you will have no difficulties understanding Uzbek

you are right qaghanim. the uzbek and uighur ppl share a lot of things in common. there was a story says , once in Tashkent there was a small fight between uighur merchants from kashgar and local uzbeks. because the locals were julious about the uighur merchants for their monopoliing the market. then in the night, uzbek president Karimof was on the TV giving comments on that issue, he said"uighurung neme yu? Uzbeging neme? perk shuki laghmanda"(what's uighur and what's uzbek ther's no difference.the only difference is in laghman). laghman is a famous meal popular among uighur and uzbeks. but we cook little bit differently. by the way, when i was in the primary school, we have selections from Oguznameh for uighur language course, that selections awakened my nomadic souls deeply buried in my heart after my forefathers settled down in my current home town during 9th century.

Yes indeed, the Oghuznâme is one of the most important historical legends of the Turkic peoples. I first read it when I was 6 or 7 years old, during the beginning of the elementary school. Since my first grade in school, I have been reading about Central Asian history

When i was very very young i read a story about Genghis Khan defying the wall of china. And figured he was a badass. When i was in year 8, my cousin and I were playing age of empires, The first time i played the sequel I saw it had mongols and i was like "MONGOLS!" and he didn't see what my great attraction was. Now we're both interested in steppe history.

Well, I have been many years Finnish National Socialist/Nationalist and naturally I have always been interesting of original Finnish culture and religion and way of life. I have been intersting about Steppes since I noticed the next fact: "Finland is not frontline of Europe against east, but it is frontline of Turan against west. genetics, culture and many other things proves that". I have also read alot about Genghis, Ungern, Timur, Attila etc... "Western civilization and russian vodka-syphilis culture tries to destroy the most noble human-type, the Nomad" -Kai Donner- Kai Donner was Finn whose family many hundreds years ago adopted swedish names and habbits, but he hated those and wanted to be Nomad. Wow... forgive my ignorance but I always thought Finns were no different from the Sweds - original Finns were nomads? Tell me about Finland (in another thread maybe) if you have time, quite interested.

Actually, the Finns have nothing to do with the Swedes and other Indo-European Germanic Scandinavians.
Oh and I'm surprised how our dear Baron didn't try to sacrifice you to Turisas ;D ;D ;D
