Talk politics.

The Turkic peoples of Central Asia are actually very different from the social setting of Turkey, and that's the problem with this artificially created "pan-Turkic" paradigm. It just doesn't exist in the minds and cultures of those people, and anything the Turkish NGOs are trying to do in that direction is doomed to failure unless Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan become secular, culturally European orientated societies like Turkey, which I don't see happening. Moreover, Turkey is trying to build a new image of itself, and Islam has some part in it which causes some itches in their military. So what's there for the Central Asian peoples? It must be rather confusing to them, not knowing what that imaginary "Turkic model" looks like. Other than common ethnic and linguistic heritage, I don't see what else connects them. Besides, some of these countries are not exactly in the best relations between themselves (just look at the Uzbeks in Kyrgyzstan or the Kyrgyz in Kazakhstan).
