Presentation should be from a neutral point of view[edit]

The article is marred by terms that have a negative judgemental connotation. For example, why is the theory of Anatolianism called a political view? Researchers of genetics have come to these conclusions by studying the genetic material without preconceptions of what they should or should not find. And why call it racial views? The opposite nationalist theory (espoused for example by the MHP and the Grey Wolves) that Anatolian Turks are pure-blooded descendants of the brave Turkic warriors that roamed the Central Asian steppes in hordes on their horses, is much more deserving of this label. Ascribing the theory to "some Turkish intellectuals" fails the WP:weasel test; the claim that "the idea of a national identity, limited by geographical borders have played a significant role" requires a citation. --Lambiam 16:05, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Anatolianism can be taken as a political view, or a political extension of a debate on a Turkish literature school so-called Blue Anatolia - which portrays the people of Anatolia as a non-temporal community. The pioneers of the school -for instance, Cevat Sakir (Halikarnas Balikcisi) suppose the people who defended Gallipoli and the people of Holy Ilium (Troia)who fought against the outsider (the Greeks) are the same. The school distinguishes itself with its romantic stand mostly, but it also extends a non-deliberate support to the claims of autocthony by nationalist circles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.27.67.155 (talk) 14:32, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support[edit]

How much support does this belief have, i mean it seems perfectly believable considering the genetic evidence but what do the Turks feel about it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by English Bobby (talk • contribs) 15:06, 12 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
