	Turkish people - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Turks, (Turkish: Türkler), or the Turkish people (Türk Halkı), are a nation (millet) in the meaning an ethnos (Halk in Turkish), defined more by a sense of sharing a common Turkish culture and having a Turkish mother tongue, than by citizenship, religion or by being subjects to any particular country.
		The Turkish language is a member of the Oghuz subdivision of Turkic languages, which in turn is thought by some to be a branch of the proposed Altaic language family.
		Modern Turkish differs greatly from the Ottoman Turkish language that was used officially in the Ottoman Empire.

		When Turkish Cypriots and Greek Cypriots lived dispersed throughout the island in close proximity to each other, these divides were always there simply because the two peoples never forged or wished to forge a common identity to create a nation.
		The two peoples of the island, the Turks and Greeks of Cyprus, have different identities and they are living on two different territories, within their respective states, a Turkish Cypriot republic in the north and a Greek Cypriot republic in the south, with a buffer zone in between.
		The Turkish Cypriots are forcibly excluded from their guaranteed positions in all the organs of their own state, pushed out of the entire political and economic system, cut off from public services, and their political equality and vested rights are denied as a whole.

		The aim was to reduce the Turkish Cypriot people to the status of a mere minority, wholly subject to the control of the Greek Cypriots, pending their ultimate destruction or expulsion from the island.

		On the other hand, the fact that the relations among the artists, businessmen, and the ordinary people of the two countries are increasing is another sign that some significant improvements have been happening for the establishment of trust and friendship among the peoples.
		Considering that becoming a full member of the EU is a major priority of the Turkish foreign policy and Greece, as a full member of the EU could use the condition as a tool of pressure on Turkey, settlement of the Aegean disputes will clearly be in the agenda at least in 2004 and afterwards.
		All the official statements made by the Turkish officials in the recent year have not shown a glimpse of a possibility that Turkey could change its position so as to accept that there are not many but only one dispute in the Aegean Sea to be delimited between the two countries.

	Crescent and Star
		Since Turks and their ancestors were a most mobile people, due to their domesticating and riding the horse and with a lifestyle of animal husbandry-based economy, they moved readily from place to place and are found in many unexpected places.

		It is important to mention that Iran is a country where, in fact, people of Turkish origin founded empires and states, lasting until 1924.
		Nevertheless, in the pursuit of Eurasianism in the region Turkey should be cautious of the manipulative attempts of both the United States and Russia, because although cooperation is required, it may disguise subordination.
		If neo-Eurasianist doctrine presupposes a Turkish-Slavic union, by allying with Turkish Eurasianists, Russians could remain influential to the east of the Ural Mountains, where the Turkish peoples are predominant.
