Well there is no country such as Turkestan. Turkestan is a geographical region which refers to the former Soviet Republics and Turkey (including Northern Cyprus) who speak a Turkic Language. Some propose the creation of Turkistan as an official state derived from the union of its countries.
Some of the Turkic Languages are; Kazakh, Uzbek, Turkmen, Azeri, Turkish, Kyrgyz, and etc.
However in most of these countries Russian is widely spoken and the people of these countries feel close ties to Russia (Russian Music and Drama's are popular, although Turkish Media is growing also). One thing to note is former Soviet Republics are very secular and religion is not taken very seriously. Also because of the past history of Soviet Union it is unlikely that these countries will unite to form a Turkistan. (Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan are very isolated, and continue to go down this path).
For further information about unions and loyalties of these countries look at CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States) and the SCO ( The Shanghai Cooperation Organization).
