Actually I talk with evidence, unlike you.Turkic counsil was not put forward by traditional Pan-Turkic countries but by Nazarbayev from Kazakhstan and according to sources Kazakhstan is most Soviet influenced country. That says a lot.
Turkic Council - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Iran is a ticking bomb like ex-Yugoslavia. Only 45% of Iran is ethnic Persian.
the Iranian census of 2001 mentions that 68% speak Persian as first language.
The Library of Congress like the Encyclopedia of Islam (Leiden)[10] states Iran's ethnic groups as follows: Persians 65%
However look closer to the worries of erDOGan:
The Kurdish community of Turkey, which represents at least 15 percent of the country's overall population and dominates the south-eastern region) has such a high birth rate, that some observers -- most prominently Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan -- believe Kurds could become a majority in Turkey within another generation.
According to Turkish government statistics, the average Kurdish woman in Turkey gives birth to about four children, more than double the rate for other Turkish mothers.
Thus, Turkey is facing a demographic time bomb -- Kurds, who tend to be concentrated in the country's impoverished southeast and are generally poorer and less educated -- could conceivably outnumber Turks within about 30 years should present patterns persist.
If we continue the existing trend, 2038 will mark disaster for us, Erdogan warned in May 2010.
