The large Turk immigrations over the three big continents of the ancient
earth must have some serious reasons. In history, experts in this field showed us that no
tribe even the most principled ones moved on their own accord or just for pleasure, that
it is very hard for someone to move from his land forever and that the immigrations took
place because of some compulsions.
- In historical records
it is marked that also the Turk immigrations were done because of economic inconveniences
that means the Turkish motherland was insufficient for subsistence. Very hard droughts
(e.g. Hun migration), growth of population and the narrowness of pasture (Oğuz
migration), forced the Turks to immigrate. Because of the fact that the land was not able
anymore to feed the growing population, except for the narrow agricultural areas, there
was also need for different economic elements beneath types of food, clothes etc. for the
Turks who could just keep breeding animals and lead a natural life and those needs could
only be satisfied at the - for this period of time - low-populated, convenient climated
and rich with natural fortunes neighbour countries.

- According to Turkish
History records those were the main reasons for the migrations and moves which caused the
Turks not only to turn to foreign countries but sometimes also to attack other Turkish
countries who possessed more economical or commercial possibilities. Thus in historical
times one body of the Turks forced another Turkish group by conquering them to immigrate
(e.g. the IX-XI century immigrations). Either this way or by experiencing hard external
pressure by foreigners (e.g. the XI. Century Mongolian K'i-Tan attack) the Turks chose to
leave the country rather than staying and remaining deprived of independence. This was a
situation, which was not possible for the settled tribes but rather for the steppe tribes.
