premise: Involved in ultranationalist movements since the early 1940s, Turkes was one of the senior organisers of a military coup in 1960, which eventually led to the hanging of toppled conservative prime minister Adnan Menderes.
  Turkes was twice deputy prime minister in right-wing coalition governments between 1975 and 1978.
  He was imprisoned and barred from active politics after another military coup in 1980, but regained his political rights in a 1987 referendum.
  His Nationalist Action supported a centrist coalition between True Path and the left-wing Republican People's Party between 1991 and 1995.
  Following the collapse of the former Soviet Union in 1991, Turkes supported the creation of a union of Turkic countries with the participation of Turkey and the mainly Moslem former Soviet republics of Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.
   Which of Turkes' ambitions would have been much less likely to succeed without the collapse of the Soviet Union?
hypothesis: creation of a union of Turkic countries
