Gray Wolves leader and Erdogan today posing with a map of the Turkic World. Apparently Bulgaria is part of the Turkic world too. Reminder that Orban attended the Turkic Council Summit last week

2. I can’t understand where this map is based on. All I see is Turkey shrinking both economically and culturally.

3. No one care about this two guy even me

4. r/2balkan4you

5. Dont know about bulgaria but there are many turkic groups, nations and chiefdoms in Russia, is this pseudoscience too?

6. Indicating countries/regions/autonomous oblasts with a significant turk minority using a different color.

7. The map even shows red pockets in western europe…?

8. Why isn’t Germany colored? /s

9. …and they all lived happily ever after… just like us Slavs. One big happy family. Happy-happy-happy. /s

   Also, can we claim some German lands because Sorbs live there? Just for shits and giggles. Also the Baltic states because of the indigenous Russian population there…

   …no of course we can’t. That map has just as much of validity.

   Cute though.

10. Can anyone give me like a 1 sentence flash explanation of how Turkey’s decline became so steep?

11. And Bosniaks

12. Imagine thinking that you are still Turkic lmfao.

13. Look, I don’t support both, but you shouldn’t be butthurt about Turks living in Bulgaria. I checked that maps legend: red indicates independent Turkic states, yellow autonomous Turkic states and orange Turkic communities. Where the hell does it say “majority areas”? Such a cringy title to get some upvotes based on your anti-Turkish sentiment. And yes, the history of Turks in Bulgaria dates back many centuries, even before Ottomans, Pechenegs and Cumans. That orange from southern Bulgaria to northern Dobruja indicated traditional homeland of Balkan Turks, what’s wrong?

14. I see some orange also in France, Germany and Poland

15. If anyone is interested, that blip inside China seems to be the [Salar People](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salar_people), from what I can tell after looking it up.

    Also the Uyghurs in the Xinjiang region are of Turkish origins, which I didn’t know.

16. Red: Turkic states

    Yellow: Autonomous Turkic republics,regions

    Orange: Where Turks live. Minority,majority all mixed.

    Only majorities in orange coloured areas are in Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan and China all of others beside some in Bulgaria are minorities.

    Also, based and we wuz khanz pilled

17. Notice how they have carved Xinjiang out of China.

18. Erdolfgan showing off his desired ‚Lebensraum‘.

    Attatürk would be ashamed.

19. Facist pigs.

20. The irony that Erdogan is Georgian.

21. Aren’t they gray wolves a terrorist organisation?

22. Turkish lira is two times cheaper than 2 years ago but sure stand with some fantasy map…

23. erdogan is not even turkic lol

24. Sandjak is considered as Turkish world according to the map. Ironic.

25. Turkey isn’t even turkic

26. If the Turkish Lifa keeps dropping so bad we may be able to buy them soon and make them part of the Bulgarian world. How about that.

27. Fuck around and find out roaches

28. Well it shows more than Bulgaria.. Macedonia, Kosovo/Serbia, Bosnia..

29. >Apparently Bulgaria is part of the Turkic world too.

    Also North Macedonia, Kosovo, and Bosnia, apparently.

30. Dünyası is the loan word from Arabic for “world”. And haritası for “map” probably comes from Greek or something. Guess wolves don’t have their own words for that.

31. What is this? 1930’s?

32. Neither Bahçeli nor Erdoğan have ever mentioned atrocities done to Uygurs in China, and look what he is giving. Both of them pretend to be real Turks but in realty both of them a piece of shit.

33. Ah yes, Southern Serbia is part of Turkic world lol

34. Turkey is slowly sliding back to where they were 100 years ago.

35. Well Orban has a pre-trianon hungary map hanging proudly in his office so yeah duh

36. Read The Next 100 Years by George Friedman. Turkey plays an important role in the coming decades in his 2009 prediction…. Lot has already happened since 2009.
