There are 3 million Turkish people in Germany, and 3/4 of Turkish people are Turkic, but there are fewer than 900,000 Turkic people in Germany? Do Turkic Turks like Germany less than non-Turkic Turks do?

In all fairness minority groups in a country tend to emigrate more. In Turkey, the Kurds and Armenians particularly want out.

Relatively easy quiz when you think of geography, including Kurdistan, and also emigration.

sadly, China is really trying to decrease their numbers. There's genocide going on in China and the world is doing nothing

@EvaR It's not about being Turkic, though...

China is a pretty safe bet for any quiz that bases numbers on actual population, as opposed to percent. It's just got so many people.

I've never heard of Turkic people before, but they were on another quiz this week, too. Have they been in the news recently?

I can think of several instances of this term appearing in the news but not moreso recently than at any other time. Ethnic strife with Turkish Uighurs in China. Conflicts between Kurdish and Turkic (and Arabic) peoples in the Levant. References to problems with immigrant populations in Germany. And of course in historical texts about the Middle East and Central Asia you run into the term all the time.

I seem to have not fully understood the answer to this before. Isn't there are a connection between Turkish and Turkic aside from Turkish being a Turkic language? If so what is it?
