OK, and I was trying to reason that the statement concerning the
CONCEPT is as incorrect as the statement (not made by Torsten, but by
many other people) concerning inventory itself is incorrect. By the
way, I think Torsten meant Turkic (the Turkic-speaking nations in
general, like the Tartars, the Azerbaijani, the Kazakhs etc, not only
the Turks).
