Turan Empire

The Turan Empire is a historical concept referring to a shared cultural and ethnic region traditionally associated with Turkic and related peoples across Central Asia, Eastern Europe, and parts of the Middle East. Although not a formal empire in the classic sense, the idea symbolizes a potential unity or connection among these Turkic-speaking groups. Historians and nationalists sometimes idealize Turan as a cultural or political notion representing common heritage, rather than a specific, unified state. It highlights the broad geographic and cultural links among peoples who share linguistic and historical ties in Eurasia.
