The extent could (should) be discussed. So, that's not surprising that it appeared in Far East. <BR/><BR/>It couuld be said that Abdurreshit Ibrahim was more of Islamic identity, rather then Turkic. But he still was the linkage Between Turkic-Muslim community of Turk-Tatars in Far East and newly-established secular Turkish Republic [Few years before he brought to Konya region of late-Ottoman period Tatars from Siberia - nowadays it's a 100 y. old village of Bogrudelik]. In the period of WWII Turkey and Japan had stayed in contact, and Turkish officials were aware of Muslim Turk-Tatar community there in the Far East. Later on, it was Turkey, who accepted fleeing stateless Tatars of Far East. May be that moment, that act of honour was the breaking point for that Community to embed another meaning to the word Turk [deviation from "Turkic" to "Turkish"]. It's mere an opinion.Fәsmәtәnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13194997906907638235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7532136220616334351.post-33322102879752244212008-08-11T07:30:00.000+02:002008-08-11T07:30:00.000+02:00Tosi mielenkiintosta!Tosi mielenkiintosta!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
