Here is the link (Turkish):

The article says that Mongolia has a population problem and women far outnumber men. Moreover majority of the male population seems to have alcoholism problem which hurts the economy. They want 20.000 Turkish males to balance the men/women ratio and also they think hardworking Turkish males will knock some sense into Mongolian men. As for why they have chosen Turkey; the article tells that Mongolians regard Turks as their 3rd neighbors, because of historical connections. A council will be arriving next month to discuss the issue.
interesting....I wasn´t able to find any other articles regarding this matter in English.
It seems they are interested in the Turkic aspect of Turkish males....but many Turks are not Turkic, what about that? How about 20,000 Laz, Kurds, Zaza.........
Given the expense of finding a bride, this sounds like a great alternative for some. I guess the men would have to take up residence in Mongolia, or could one go there, get a bride and go back home?
..........so many details to work out!

As far as I know, Mongolia is afraid of being absorbed into China. In fact it´s said that the only thing that prevented this historically was Russia. (not to mention inner-Mongolia which is already a part of China). So I can understand why they would not prefer Chinese ppl.
But more importantly, this seems to be just the right job for us! 
Perhaps they need to be less picky!

Mongolia is the country of horses. Atla gel means come with horse. Turkish man feels more masculan on a horse. Also "atla gel" is a quote in Turkish which means just come don´t think a lot" However, yes atlamak has several meanigs  I had to use that provocative homonymic word becouse, it is not easy to persuade 20000 people to go to the other side of the world...

but why you need to go there on a horse if they already have 20 000 horses too many and need 20 000 riders for them...? just go by foot and the horse is granted for you there...? since they are selling those horses by ad-s like this, you obviously will have to marry the horse though...

I find it totally weird that the writters of even the biggest newspapers do no check if what they are writing is correct.
It says "Moğolistan´da 6 kadına bir erkek düşüyor. ", so there is only 1 man for 6 women in Mongolian population.
Let´s check CIA factbook:
https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/mg.html
0-14 years: 28.1% (male 436,391/female 418,923)
15-64 years: 67.9% (male 1,031,819/female 1,033,806)
65 years and over: 4% (male 52,430/female 67,773) (2009 est.)
It is so nonsense!
