Although Michael is correct, the expression "Young Turks" now refers to any group of relatively young people who have gained power in a company or political situation!. When I was in the Navy and got promoted very rapidly to E-5, I was referred to as a "Young Turk" in the Hawaiian submarine community!. Any group of young men or women can find themselves to be "Young Turks," but I never heard of any old ones! ;-)Www@QuestionHome@Com

The Young Turks were a coalition of various groups favoring reforming the administration of the Ottoman Empire!. Through the Young Turk Revolution, their movement brought about the second constitutional era!. In 1889, starting first among military students and then extending to other sections, the movement initiated against the monarchy of Sultan Abdul Hamid II!. Establishing officially, the Committee of Union and Progress (CUP) in 1906, gaining most of the Young Turks, the movement built a rich tradition of dissent that shaped the intellectual, political and artistic life of the late Ottoman period!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
