if so, I wouldn't say it is so easy: try to say something in Anatolian Turkish to Chuvash, Bashkir or to Yakut people: they won't understand u although the are also Turks.
I have friends from Kazakhstan - they learn Turkish too and say that Kazakh is completely different.

the main problem is that I couldn't understand Kazakh,but they easily understood my Turkish while I was touring Kazakhstan...

Interesting thing: the same problem we have in the Slavic family of languages: people who don't know Czeh, think that it is very similar to Polish. But the situation is the same: I didn't understand a word but they understood me.

Attila,
Usualy Turkish speaker from Turkey might understand Kazakh,Uzbek, Kirgiz, Kalmik... speakers with more ease then they would understand Turkish.They can understand each other but not the Tadzhiks.The Tadzhiks are Indo-Europian speakers.They are speaking an Iranian language.Same we have in Slavic languages.Russian and Bulgarian, for example,are Slavic languages.Russian-East Slavic and Bulgarian- South Slavic.Russians from Russia understand Bulgarians with more ease.

The best thing about turkish is that if we weren't all learning it we wouldn't have met, great isn't it.
And its all good for expanding our knowledge of language!
