The Great Wall was built around 200 BC, that's over 2000 years ago, when the word Turks first appeared in the world history?

You are still longing for your ancestral lands , aren't you. But once we kicked you out we won't allow you to come back.

One more question: From early 20th century (Ataturk era) up to recently, Turkish seems to see themselves, or be inclined to, as European and want to integrate to Europe. I've never been to Turkey, but can imagine how Turkey media would try to portray their culture, their race etc. as European (from books by Aziz Nesin, once popular in Vietnam in 1980 - 1990s, I can feel this sentiment and trend) and deny Turkey's Asian roots.

But now it seems that Turkey wants to portray themselves as a connection country between Europe and (East) Asia and is showing more interest in their cousins in the East. Of course business is one of the reasons (Turkish companies working in former Soviet Central Asian republics), but I would like to know whether there is a shift in feeling of general Turkish people. Is this interest the trend in Turkish mass, or just the game of politicians?.

Turkey itself hasn't changed. Power shifted from urban, middle-class, Europhilic Kemalists who wanted to integrate with the West to the rural, poor, backward, hyper-religious bumpkins who put Erdogan in power. They were always retrograde, it's just that they now have a representative who can implement their program.
