text: Some Turks are less than comfortable with their land's pre-Islamic history.

Taught from childhood that they are descended from Turkic tribes that followed the legendary gray wolf out of Central Asia in the tenth century, many of them have an insular Turkocentric view of the world, reinforced by the government's having changed hundreds of place-names to make them sound more Turkish.
