This study compares the Turan-themed poetry of two Turkish poets who share Uzbek ancestry, focusing on their substance and form. The poems “Turanland” ("Turanyurt"), by Azim Süyün from Uzbekistan and “Motherland” ("Anayurt") by Mehmet Sabir Karger from South Turkestan depict the journey towards achieving unity among Turanian Turks within this context. Consequently, imperialist governments like Russia and China have caused a geographical and social division within the entire Turkic world. Each Turkish homeland was assigned a distinct country name, while each Turkish tribe was given a unique nation name. Therefore, they generated numerous homelands from a single homeland, multiple states from a single state, and multiple nations from a single nation. This constitutes a deliberate assault on the historical, geographical, and national aspects of Turkey, as well as on our forefathers, heritage, and cultural identity. It is imperative for all those of Turkish descent worldwide to counteract this assault by forming the Turan Turkish union.
