nice triples btw

Because -stan means "land of". Same sorta thing as England and Ireland.

-istan means the land where x group lives. which is why those countries have that suffix
Kazakhstan is going to change its name to Kazakeli which means basically the same thing
Turkiye is also Turk-iye, -iye means belonging, so it means "land that belongs to turks"

Just -stan.
Just like Slavic 'stati', Germanic 'stand(en)', Latin 'stare'.
Central Asians are our blood brothers, just like the Kurds and Armenians are. I'm sad to see Kazakhstan change their name to some random steppeshit language.

Why don't them have unified visa policy like Schengen area?
