Comments

This article should not be in "wikiproject faschism", it should be in -if there exist- "wikiproject nationalism"... Because, all graywolves MUST PROMISE to defend the fronts AGAINST THE FASCHIST STRUGGLES before being a gray wolf. How can someone add an anti-fa to wiki faschist project?

Neutrality

This article lacks neutrality in almost everyway. And most of the information is inacccurate. There are too much baseless accusations (some of them are very insulting)about said person. Language is very disrespectful and offensive. Noone dead or alive deserves such treatment. Even articles about known terrorists like Abdullah Öcalan is much more respectful and neutral than this article.

The Modern Cosmopolitan, Multi-Ethnic Turkish State

Öcalan is not a terrorist: he is someone who has fought for the democratic rights of his ethnic group: the Turkish state made a terrorist of him and other Kurds (and martyrs!) by denying them civil rights,freedom of expression and education in their own language. Your POV stems from what are clearly fairly extreme right-wing opinions, and you appear to be an apologist for the extreme fascist and racist views held by Türkeş, someone who was, in reality, on a par with the Serbian war-criminal, Vojislav Šešelj, currently awaiting trial in the Netherlands.

You ought to re-read the history of your country form 4000 BCE onwards: you will readily see that a host of different 'races'- Hattians, Hittites, Armenians, Greeks, North-west Caucasians, etc., have contributed to the present population of your country (in the devşirme of the the Ottoman period not a few from Balkan Christian countries also.) The actual proportion of Turkish Turks who settled in Turkey was relatively small. Many countries, at least in the West are very diverse and cosmopolitan in their 'ethnic' make-up. This illustrates why the racist tone of your comment is unbalanced and out of place in a modern context: you see everything in black and white, not at all in the many shades of grey.

Misguided views like yours have led to many outrages in Turkey. In the past few days we have witnessed the political assassination of the Turkish Armenian newspaper editor, Hrant Dink. Yet Turks wonder why EU member states are so very wary of admitting Turkey into the European Union. When Turkey can clearly demonstrate that all of its citizens are equal before the law, in what is in reality a multi-ethnic state, have genuine freedom of speech and enjoy full democratic and civic rights (which includes, incidentally, the right to criticize the actions of the present and past governments of Turkey, as well as individual public figures), we in Western Europe will welcome all Turks warmly as full members of our community of nations. 86.141.217.57 17:52, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Your claim is absurd, you are telling nonsense. The Turks came to Anatolia in several waves, the immigration of Turks to Anatolia started in 1044 and continued till 1800. The first large wave started right after the battle of Manzikert were hundreds of thousands of Turks came. They came as tribes mostly from eastern Iran. Later many more waves of Turks followed after the Mongols invaded central-asia and Iran, millions of Turks that ran from the mongols settled in Anatolia, Iran and northern-Iraq. The founders of the Ottoman empire came with this wave. Orrin_73 18:54, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

basbug does not mean fuhrer! basbug is a proturkic word that means leader.

what do you think führer means? denizC 10:06, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
Führer comes from German word führen. The exact mean of führen is leading. And the translation of "führer" in to Turkish, is "önder". Also the word Başbuğ, used by Enver Paşa(he died before Hitler's reigm). Ruzgar 18:06, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Trivia Section

Trivia sections aren't proper encyclopedic content.

Also, a trivia section with a single piece of trivia, *related to a video game rather than the subject at hand*, is particularly non-encyclopedic.

Sources

Need sources as to how Nihal Atsız espoused racist views. Atabəy (talk) 23:49, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

A People without a country, p85.

From 1965 onwards, Colonel Alparslan Turkes began to weld this tendency into an orgamized legal political party. Although he was well known for his fascist sympathies and had even been court-martialled in 1946 for "fascist and racist activities," Turkes was allowed to continue his career in the army."

The New geopolitics of Central Asia and its borderlands, p196.

Ecevit was prime minister in 1974 when Turkey intervened militarily in Cyprus. He has also been on of Turkes' principal critics, and often denounced him for his 'racist' views during the ideologically polarized party politics of the late 1970s.

Tormented by history, p.138.

Twenty three of them, among them Nihal Atsiz, Reha Oguz Turkkan and a young army captain by the name of Alparslan Turkes, who was later to leave his indelible mark on Turkish politics, were accused of engaging in a plot to overthrow the government in order to form a state based on racist and Turanist principles.
