Turanian Society

Turanian Society

Turanian Society ( _tr. Turan cemiyeti, _tt. Turan cämğiäte, _hu. Turáni Társaság), a society founded in 1839 by Tatars, aiming at uniting the various Turkic peoples of the Russian empire.

The name is derived from Turan, an ancient Persian name for the land to the East of Iran where many Turkic folks live, and Turan, the goal of an all Turks uniting state.

The organisation is one of the earliest forerunners for modern Pan-Turkism and Turanism.

During the latter part of the 19th century and the early 20th century similar societies were founded in many other countries with perceived Turanian roots:

* Hungarian Turanian Society, Hungary, founded 1910;
* Turanian Alliance of Hungary founded 1920;
* Turanian National Alliance, Japan 1921;
* Japanese Turanian Society early 1930s; and

* Pan-Turkism
* Turanism
