 TAP: Web Feature: China's Secret Separatists:. by Manolis Priniotakis. October 26, 2001.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Held in two parts, a conference unsubtly entitled "The Situation in East Turkestan After Half a Century of Chinese Communist Occupation" and a meeting of the General Assembly of the East Turkestan (Uyghuristan) National Congress (ETNC), the meeting was destined to be a tense affair even without recent international events.
Within China, use of the words Turkestan and Uyghuristan are strictly forbidden, both loaded with separatist connotations.
Uyghuristan plays more to the various international legal definitions of self-determination for peoples, as well as to a more spiritual need for a Uyghur homeland.

 East Turkistan Or Uyghuristan?
The Soviets believed that if an independent country came to existence in the region of Uyghuristan, it would influence the people in Soviet Central Asia and Khazakistan and lead to the separation of these people as countries independent from the imperialism of the so-called Soviet Union.
Second, the name "Uyghuristan" is not against the national and human rights of the brother peoples; on the contrary, it guarantees those rights.
But I found that none of those government officials know the existence of an ET." This shows that, despite the hard work of our countrymen in letting the world know the existence of ET, the name ET could not get to the international stages; it was not raised to the level of an international concept.

The gradual Islamicization of the Uyghur from the 10th to as late as the 17th centuries (Barat, personal communication), while displacing their Buddhist religion, did little to bridge these oases-based loyalties.

Rudelson's dissertation confirms this persistent regional diversity along three, and he insightfully proposes that there are four macro-regions, dividing the southern Tarim into two distinct socio-ecological regions (

The name is considered offensive by many advocates of independence, who prefer to use historical or ethnic names such as Chinese Turkestan, East Turkestan (with Turkestan sometimes spelled as Turkistan) or Uyghuristan.
Because of the association of these names with the East Turkestan independence movement, they are in turn considered synonymous with Pan-Turkic Islamist terrorism by the PRC government and local Han Chinese residents.
