You may resume the debate now.

Taking this question serious:

Urheimat of two people's forefathers are said to be very close.

Their languages derive from the same language family, Ural Altaic Languages Family. Beyond this fact, Hungarian Language contains many proto Turkic words. Both people used Runes to write. But of different types. Both language are agglutinative. Both language has vowel harmony . But different types. Both language has the verb 'var- in Turkish  and van- in Hungarian. And this verb has no equivalent in IE languages.

Both people had initially nomadic way of life.

Both people were /are good riders and had similar way of clothing. Their national clothings were similar.  Historical hats worn by  earlier Hungarians are still worn in Central Asia under the name of QALPAQ or B�RK.

One of the Byzantine Emperors called a Hungarian King as The King of TURKS

Hungarians and Turks claim to have descendency from the Hunnic people.

It is known that some of the tribal organisations that contributed to the construction of modern Hungarian nation were of Turkic origin. -Some historians say that Turkic tribes that came in different times to Hungarian Melting pot  were melt in eralier Hungarians.  If they had come at once and all together , Today Hungarian people would have been speaking a Turkic language. That is they would be melt by Turks and they would be Turks. 

Old Hungarian Music was pentatonic. So was of Turks.

Both people believed in Shamanism and TANGRI

Both languages have these same child names: Atilla in Turkish and Attila in Hungarian Arpat in Turkish and Arpad in Hungarian.  And this leads us to think that we have a common  initial ancestry.

Thse I mentioned above and many more that I could not remember make the historians and all who are concerned discuss about a possible affinity between Hungarians and Turkic people.

And somehow,  Turks and Hungarians had always attachment to each other along the history. Except the Ottoman invasion period, no serious copnflict or war happened between two people.

Ok the country Azerbaijan was part of Iran until Russia annexed it from Iran.  So, Azeris(both from the independent country and in Iran) are racially closer to Iranians. 

By the way, arent' turks a mixture of Aryan and Mongolian races?  Doesnt that make them part Iranian(Aryan)? 

Yes, but then again.. one could argue that Iranians are partly Turkic.  

We'd better use 'Altaic People' rather than 'Turks' here... Hungarians left Asia long time before the name 'Turk' appeared. Now I know Turkic people are older than their names; but you can't exclusively relate them to Turks since they all lived together thousand years ago.  

Uralic family is very close to Altaic, we all know about it. Well, Hungarians were not originally of Indo-European family. And totally, it's proved they are quite close to people like Turks; that's why I mentioned Altaic. Tengriberdi's quite right.

Kald�r�m, not kaldrma.

By the way, That hungarian turks connection is absolutely comic, do we have common langauge? no, do we have common culture ? no, do we have commen religion? no.
