  5. The Best Kept Secret in the World

  6. Who are Turks ??? Turks have a long background dating back to the 3rd millennia BC, when they lived as nomads in the great Chinese steppes and on the Mongolian highlands. Historical written references to the Turks appear in Chinese records of about 200 BC, when Turks liberated themselves from the Chinese autonomy and moved towards the west to establish their own Empires and States mainly within the intersection of 3 continents; Asia, Europe and Africa. Before the foundation of Republic of Turkey, there were 16 Turkish States. The rulers of these States were called mainly Tarkan, Tanhu, Kagan (Kaan), Han (Khan), Yangu, Bey, Shah, Sultan, and so on. Generally the eldest son was appointed as the crown prince. In case the crown princes were too young, their uncles were enthroned until they grew up. The capital city of the ruler was called "Ordu".
