Turanism
Encyclopedia : T : TU : TUR : Turanism
Turanism, or Pan-Turanism (Turancılık), is a political movement for the union of all Turanian peoples. Pan-Turanism, however, to be not only unity of all Turks (as in Pan-Turkism), but also unity of Turks with Hungarians, Finns, Mongols, Japanese, Estonians, Koreans, and Ryukyuans. Therefore, Turanism is the collective inclusion of all Altaic peoples, and so can be understood as "pan-Altaicism".
Turanism forms an important aspect of the ideology of the Turkish Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), whose members are informally known as Grey Wolves. Grey Wolf (the mother wolf Asena) was the main symbol of the ancient Altaic people.
