In fact, he never declared himself as a Turanist,Pan-Turkist. evenAnd inAtatürk theshut 1930s Turanci closeddown the Pan-Turkist associations and brought them underin the control of the CHP1930s. However, the following words he said in 1933 clearly reveal his own thinking:

“Today the Soviet Union is our friend, our neighbor, our ally. We need this friendship. But no one can predict what will happen soon. justJust like the Ottoman Empire, just like Austria-Hungary, itthey can be broken into pieces. The nations that hethey holdshold tightly in histheir hands today, can escape from histheir palmshands. World may reachget a new balance. That's when Turkey should know what to do. Under the administration of this friend of ours, we have brothers with onethe same language, onesame belief, and onesame essence. We must be readyprepared to ownprotect and watch over them. Being ready is not just being silent and waiting for that day. We need to be prepared. How do nations preparebe prepared for this? KeepingBy keeping spiritual bridges intact. LanguageThe language is a bridge;, history is a bridge, faith is a bridge. We must go downback to our roots and integratewe ourselvesall intohave to unify in our history which is divided by events. We cannot wait for them to approach us. We need to approach them.”"</ref>
