The greatest was, indeed Arpad.
I, as a Turk, view the Magyars as the closest people to us in Europe, as a whole. Not our former muslim subjects, like Bosnians and Albanians, as they may have adopted our religion, and maybe some of our customs, but our history and lineage meet eachother with the Magyars.
I also hope to attend the Kurultai in Hungary this year, hopefully.
As far as I know it, the Turkish people are mostly descendants of Islamised Greeks and Armenians. Plus some of Bosnian, Greek and Bulgarian Muslim refugees. I don deny there was a migration of central Asians into modern day turkey, however it is more a matter of the local assimilating into the culture of the conquerors.
By the way I knew a lot of Turkish people when I was a teenager. Only a few looked remotely like Central Asians, a lot of them looked like Greeks, Armenians, Bulgarians and Syrians.

A lot of the Ottoman sultan's mothers were Christian slave girls from places like the Balkans and Russia.

Was Vlad Tepes fairly good towards the Jews by any chance?
