Koreans and Turkic people, Friendship Options

[AydinKafkaz]

What do Koreans think about the Turkic people? We are (as I like to describe it) Cousins. We both along with the Mongols speak an Altaic language and our vocabulary is very common. I have noticed a lot of Koreans tend to take Turkish as a secong language in Universities. The World Cup match between South Korea and Turkey in particular left viewers amazed at the amount of friendship and happiness both teams held for each other while holding each others flag and running across the field together.

What do Koreans think about the establishment of an Altaic union similar to the European union based on cultural and national awareness. Friendship between all Altaic nations as well as people of Altaic nationality to be able to travel to other Altaic countries without the requirement of Visa's. This all, of course would take a long time to establish.

I am a Tatar, and ever since the disintegration of the Soviet Union 5 Turkic republics gained independance (Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakistan) there have been quite a lot of movement for a union like Turan/Altaic to be set up. This idea is particularely strongest amongst Azeris and Tatars.
