then think again, because it was a part of continuing series: turkish nationalism

Okay sure, but this is comical. A Turkish nationalist will be a Turkish nationalist with or without this idea. It's the equivalent of saying that Turkish people have naturally less odorous farts and thus TURKIYE SHALL RULE THE WORLD!

okay but this idea was kinda central to modern turkish nationalism. see, kurds are not distinct people, they just speak turkish but wrong (heard anything similar recently?) also this is part of the reason why standard turkish is actual common language in turkey
