So you say that you know the truth. Interesting and encouraging.

> the name "Mongol" until the 17th-18th centuries meant belonging to a political community, and was not the ethnic name. While "the name "Tatars" was "the name of the native nation of Genghis Khan …" , "… Genghis Khan and his people did not speak the language, which we now call the "Mongolian…" (Russian academic-orientalist V.P.Vasiliev, 19th century).<

This is evidently not true. If you knew the history of Genghiz Khan,you would recall that he had all Tatars exterminated because they had killed his father Esughey-Bahadur.The Tatars were extirpated but their name survived and was adopted by other primitive Turkic tribes. It is the same as the lie widely spread in Turkey of Turks being descendants of the Hittites and the Sumerians that made them extensively adopt the name of "Hittite" and "Sumer" in family names after the so called "reforms" of Ghazi Mustafa Kemal Pasha.

>Also it must be said: now very few people know that Genghis Khan is a Turk.<

Well, it seems that now not all are yet idiots buying Pan-Turkic propaganda and pseudo-history which is so fervently manufactured in Turkey and sold abroad , mainly in the new Turkic "republics". But anyway, some people are not so honest or clever.

>Tatars of Chingiz-Khan - medieval Tatars - were one of the Turkic nations, whose descendants now live in many of the fraternal Turkic peoples of Eurasia - among the Kazakhs, Bashkirs, Tatars, Uighurs, and many others.<

"Fraternal" towards whom? The wild Turkic nomads were never fraternal to the farming Slavic populations. Their predatory inroads and slave-hunting raids were always a scourge for Russian peasants. A few million Slavs fell prey to these slave-hunting barbarians. It is only in the 19th century that Turkic banditry, reinforced by Islam, was finally overcome with slave markets closed down and sharia replaced with Russian civil laws...until 1991 when the old traditions were "resurrected" not without assistance from a certain superpower.

As to ethnic theorizing , Mongols like the Turkic peoples , the Tungus-Manchu , the Japanese and the Koreans belong to the Altaic language group. They left the primitive home quite early and there are only 25% of vocabulary common to Turkic and Mongolian. The more important historical fact is though that the Mongols inspired fear and horror in the Turks whom they beat,expelled and enslaved. Note that the origin of the Ottomans was near the Balkh river and they fled in panic merely on hearing the Mongols were approaching. They also crushed the Seljuks of Asia Minor, conquered Moslem Persia and made the Moslems build churches and buddhist temples in their Islamic cities.

>And few people know, that the ethnos of medieval Tatars, which stopped the expansion of the Persians and the Chinese to the West of the World in Medieval centuries, is still alive. Despite the politicians of the tsars Romanovs and Bolsheviks had divided and scattered this ethnos to different nations...<

Interesting. First, you claimed that Guenghiz Khan was a Tatar, even though he hated them and had them wiped out. Now you claim that they "stopped the expansion of the Persians and the Chinese to the West of the World in Medieval centuries>Everything above mentioned and a lot about the true history of the fraternal Turkic peoples had been written , in detail and proved, in the book "Forgotten Heritage of Tatars" (by Galy Yenikeyev).< F

"Forgotten" and "true" is an often used phrase to describe vulgar re-writing of history and modernist historical fiction and lie to justify and reinforce today's political agenda. Will you disclose the Pan-Turkic agenda behind all this historical fiction that you have brought up here or will I have to do it?

>This e-book you can easily find in the Internet, on Smashwords company website.,

I suggest better books than that pseudo-history written by poorly educated and brainwashed Turks, heavily influenced in Russia by such charlatans as G.V. Nosovski and A.T. Fomenko.
