Türkiye and Japan. Two countries at the respective ends of the Asian continent. At first glance, they appear completely different. What could possibly unite these two countries, then? They say you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. Exactly the same is true of these two countries. Because the further back in history we go, the more similarities between Turks and Japanese we will discover. The cornerstones of Japanese culture are traditions, the high status of the family in society, and a sense of duty and honor with regards to the nation. The same is true for Turkish culture. Despite numerous crises and conflicts, these are characteristics of both nations that have been firmly rooted in their societies for centuries, even millennia. The problems of the two countries may also appear to be different. The land of the rising sun is struggling with an aging population, while the country between Orient and Occident is facing an identity crisis. At this point, however, both nations can learn from each other. The Japanese could learn how to revive their traditional culture with new ideas, and the Turks how to rediscover the inner harmony of their nation. Turks and Japanese overcame many hurdles in the past before they could make great achievements. This will be necessary in the 21st century as well.
But how closely have Turks and Japanese been related to each other in history? In this documentary, we will take a closer look at three distinct phases of Turkic-Japanese relations, going back to 7000 BC when it all began. Therefore, prepare yourself warm Japanese green tea - or hot strong Turkish Coffee - and sit back while we embark on a journey to the past. You're in for a fascinating story you may never have heard about. This is the Altaic Connection between Türkiye and Japan. Featuring Prof. habil. Martine Robbeets who kindly agreed to take part in an interview. You can watch the relevant parts about Turkic-Japanese relations right here, and the other parts will be published sometime in future videos about the Koreans and Mongols. Afterall, the Türkiye-Japan videos are part of a mini-series, which in turn is part of a larger project I call the "Altaic Connection". All subsequent videos will be released here on KZbin during the course of this summer.
