Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzia, Pakistan, Western China, Southern Russia, Eastern Ukraine, Mongolia, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tibet, Azerbaijan, Tajikistan, are all examined and assessed. The Iranian plateau is also Central Asia, as is the Anatolian steppe. The Turkic peoples look to Central Asia as their source. Persians and Arabs, Kurds, Pashto, Shinwari, Baluch, Mongols - all are involved and all studied from the basis of my personal experience working amongst them.
