Maybe you mix words 'Turkic' with 'Turcish'?
Attila the Hun is a Hun Emperor and Huns are ancestors of all Turkic nations. Turks are also one of Turkic nations. So I see no problem Attila Khan's position in that forum.

Your perspective is that but Selim's original title of "Yavuz" means "tough to be defeated".

Nope, Huns aren't ancestors of all Turkic nations. They was one from many other. Huns are medley of the turkic hunnu, ugric and sarmats tribes. They formed in the 2-4 centuries (South Ural).

Besides, Attila hardly was using the title 'Khan'.

man, where do this people come from...there is more inteligence in an Amoeba.!

Have never met such, bigoted, small minded, egotisitical, manure talking individuals.!
And the problem is that, thats how the majority of turks are like, I had to field them in Allied Action in 2003, what a palaver that was, and they are supposed to be trained soilders...boyscouts would fair better.!

Anyway back to the matter at hand.....who really cares who the 'best' turkish leader was...?
To most ordinary people,and even those that have some knowledge in history...would not even recognise one leader in that list...and you know why.... cause they are insignificant and irellevent in wolrd affaris/history, they havent brought to the world stage..what Alexander the Great, Julia Caesar, Chruchill, Napolean (to name but a few) have done. Which all would recognise.

You talk about past glories, and how wonderfull/great the 'Turkish Empire' was.
Which is a version of history that 90% of the people here do not know about. For the simple reason, that your view on your history, is a fairytale, and of which only exists in the eyes of the turkish people...!

you should be looking at yourselves now...! Which again to be honest isnt a great deal, you economy sucks..if it wasent for the IMF pumping money into youm you would be a total colapsed state......you have no wolrd standing...on a diplomatic/power level in world affairs, you are a pawn of Nato, and a means to secure/buffer Europe from the middle east.

Wake up guys....and stop showing ignorance, cant you tell that you are getting the piss taken out of you in these forums from the drivel you spew out...???

Dr. Alireza Amir Nazmi Afshar (Azeri historian) states that the Sumer inscriptions were written in has Aral-Altai roots, proving the Turkish presence in the area for approximately six thousand years and prove that Sumerians had Turkic origin. Western Asia researcher Hammels says Sumers were Turks. Also Sumers came to the Anatolia from Central Asia long times ago.
