A Little Bit About Turkey

I have heard a report on the so called Turkish economic boom on the radio. I won`t say on which but it was absolutely in English. I should say that I am neither against this boom nor for it. What is interesting for me is that they called Turkey in this reporting, I quote, a "new country". That original approach to the Ottoman Empire really reveals a deep knowledge of history and geopolitics. Congratulations, folks.
But that is yet not all. The Turkish approach is even more interesting. At least one of the Turks in the interview with an English speaking correspondent mentioned, I quote, some " Turkish Russian countries". Being a philosopher, I can humbly guess that it might be Turkmenistan and the like. But listen to how it sounds: "Turkish Russian countries". This time I don`t even know whether to congratulate or not.
