 As
is understood from the Oghuznamas, the personality of Oguz Han
matured very early. After maturing, he crossed his father. The area of
conflict between them was the new attitudes that would shape their
society. The basic difference between them stemmed from Oguz Han’s
conversion away from his father’s religion. He believed in a
monotheistic religion while his father believed in a polytheistic one.
We feel the echoes of historical changes in these events.

I
say that the ancestor of the Türkmen nation is Oguz Han because, when
Oguz Han is spoken of, the first things that come to mind are belief in
one God, spirit and moral values. Furthermore, I want to emphasize an
important point here: the main underlying reasons for the successes,
campaigns, and developments of the five thousand year history of the Türkmen
nation, founded by Oguz Han, are belief, spirit and moral values. Belief
in only one God provided the Türkmen nation with the power to explain
all the forces of mind, reason, and heart inherent in its very nature.
