Book excerpt: This book is based on the fact that Turkish history is not limited to today's Turkey and Ottoman History. The "Turk" name extends to far more distant geographies than today's Turkey, from the East of Russia to the Balkans and the Middle East. Unfortunately, when Turks is mentioned, only Turkey and Ottoman History come to mind, but there are also many Turks in Central Asia, the Far East and the Middle East. In the book, principal Turkic peoples, including today's Turkey, are introduced in alphabetical order. For the recognition of different Turkic peoples, points such as their populations, the regions they live in, the declaration of their flags and their histories are given. The book is thought to help the name "Turk" to remind of other Turkic peoples around the world as well as Turkey and Ottoman History.
