Check Hungarian - Turkish comparison section and read the Sumerian equivalents of it. Nearly all common Hungarian-Turkish words are coming from Sumerian like the examples in your wikipedia link as "tepe, kazan, yamac, tas, kes". These words exists in Hungarian too;

There are some Sumerian examples in slavic languages too like Bulgarian "obicham" Turkish "opucem", "kuche, kuce, eth, ith" Turkish "kuchu, it", "hayduk, ayduk" turkish "haydut". I cant remember some examples but there are words like these in Russian too.
I think the word in my quote above is common in all Altaic/Uralic/Slavic languages; English "pocket", Turkish ceb, in altaic, slavic, uralic languages, it`s "djeb, zseb, dzhop, dzeb". It should be a Sumerian word. There are many more like this.
This connection is surely not related with Ottoman era, it has roots from much earlier time.Last edited by Onur; 11-22-2011, 11:56 AM.
