A common belief is growing that Turkey and Azerbaijan form "two states in one nation," and this is not a common belief among ultra-nationalists throughout Turkey, but rather words that are regularly reported by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his Azerbaijani counterpart Ilham Aliyev, according to the Greek City Times newspaper.
All of Turkey was founded on the belief that the Turkic speakers of Western China, Central Asia, Siberia, the Caucasus, the Crimea, Cyprus, the Balkans and Anatolia, constitute one nation.
Turkish nationalism lives on a saying whose philosophy began in the eighties of the nineteenth century, that the Turkic-speaking peoples who lived in Tsarist Russia, and then later in Anatolia, are followers of Turkey, even if they are in the borders of other countries.
Without this being entrenched as the official ideology of the Turkish state, Turkey has always been supported by successive governments in Ankara, and this is publicly and sometimes secretly.
