    Today you cant see any relation.

    I heard of those immigrations happened like 3 something thousand years ago.
    THey say Oguz Khan was blond and blue eyed Khan.

    During the Mogolian attacks to TUrks and Arabs large amount of Mongols settled down to those places. After their empire collapsed they remained in those lands and literally melted into TUrkish society. Timur Khan is one of them his mom is of MOngolian origin who converted to Islam.
    This is why those Central Asian Turks look a lot different than us.

    But suprisingly Uygur language is among the closest to Anatolian(Oguz) Turkish. I have seen documentaries about rural life in Eastern Turkistan, they pretty much resemble Anatolian village life.

    By the way Fins and Turks almost identitical legends. The Turkish legend of Ergenekon has almost an identical counterpart in Finnish culture.

    The chinese policy is to get rid of UYgurs. They dont let them to have children more than one. And Eastern Turkistan is populated by Chinese immigrants. They say Eastern TUrkistan has rich Uranium mine.

    I've seen plenty of pictures of Uighurs (can't say I have met one in person) - and they all look pretty Turkic to me...but so do some finns eh?

    Yeah - the Al Queda connection seems like a stretch - though some of the Uighur groups were based in Afghanistan and again there are all sorts (not all Southeatern Kurds are PKK either...)...another way the Uighurs are reeally hurt is the one child policy in China - as Uighurs are mostly rural and are not collectivized - the one child policy makes it very difficult for their economic livelyhood. The Chinese are intentionally doing everything they can to make such a thing as a Uigher disapear...

      Could Kashgar be The Armenian Khachkar?

          Khachkar translated to English means "Stone Cross", which refer to Armenian statues of the holy cross made out of the construction material "doufkar". Khachkars can be found all over Anatolia, and are often found in ruins or in shoddy buildings which used the khatchars as bricks.

            For the sake of Turks and TR, They better start to agressively make peace with theyre past through their past and present minorities, if they really love their country.

            Instead they masochisticly try to argue and fight with the world in this issue and they are belittled every time .I don't know, it's kind of like a Kemal Sunal movie,The viewer doesnt know whether to laugh or to feel sorry.

              Gavur, just curious, is there any specific reason you have pasted the above quote on nearly every thread on this forum? I couldn't quite make out why.

                You are lucky I didn't make it my signature!
                Because I think it is well worth repeating.
