"Ataturkist regime launched in 30ies a propagandist campaign the aim of which was to increase "national honor" of Turks and it included many absurd allegations about Turks as "superior race" and source of all civilization, about the descent of Turks from Hittites and Sumerians, about the origin of all world languages from the Turkish language etc. yet now these theories are long forgotten except by some arch-nationalists."

long forgotten, and your evidence is?

ataturk is still regarded as a semi-deity in the same retarded way their... prophet is regarded. I have yet to read a turk that's not an arrogant fascist telling you they are a superior race.
