Turanism, or Pan-Turanism, is a political movement for the union of all Turanian peoples. It implies not merely the unity of all Turks (as in Pan-Turkism), but also the unity of Turks with Hungarians, Finns, Mongols, Tungus, Japanese, Estonians, Koreans[citation needed], and Ryukyuans.[citation needed] Therefore, Turanism is the collective inclusion of all Altaic peoples, and so can be understood as "pan-Altaicism".
Turanism forms an important aspect of the ideology of the Turkish Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), whose members are informally known as Grey Wolves. Grey Wolf (the mother wolf Asena) was the main symbol of the ancient Altaic people.
Turanism has played a role in inspiring the early leaders Chechen rebellion against Russian rule.The current Chechan leaders have taken up a more jihadist inspiration for their struggle.
Western support for Turanism started with the Carter Administration and is a policy still held by the Bush Administration.The goal of this policy first developed by the Carter Administration was a pro-insurgency program developed to aid and inspire internal uprisings within the Islamic communities within the Soviet Union. It is believed that the CIA covertly supported the growth of the Chechan separatist and jihadist movements during the years of the Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan as an effective tool against the Soviets and later the Russians. This pro-Turanic policies of the Bush Administration have led to US support for Azerbajian, Uzbekistan,Tajikistan and Turkmenistan.The US has been a major contributor to oil projects in Azerbajian and other post-Soviet Turkic republics.
