Odin is just another name for Shiva. Rudra/Shiva/Mahakala and Odin line up closely. Vedic/Indian/Tibetan and norse magick evoke the same deity in one form or another. Norse runes are also related to Turkish runes, wow, that's a lot to talk about. Germanics speak a turkish language, their gods have turkish origins and turkish names, and germanics also had a turkish culture like horse-flesh eating. There are gokturkic runes that pre-date all futhark runes by centuries in Mongolia and tales of eight legged horses are found in Kazakhstan as well, relating to the nomadic oxen+horse combination most travelled with. Yggdrasil is Ygac a Sil in turkic meaning "Noble world tree" and Asgard is Askal Gol (City Lake). Ostrogoth comes from Austergok, auster coming from Latin meaning southeasterly and gok coming from gokturk. It literally means southeasterly turk. Same with Ostrohun.

Also, Tyr used to rule before Odin so a migration from "Tyrkland" as the scepter is passed makes sense.

You started this post alright with the connection to Eastern gods, because of course there's a connection because og PIE roots. However, as soon as you mentioned the supposed Turkish connection and your reasoning for it your post went to shit and then just further down.

Firstly, the runic similarities are only visual. The letters don't correspond with one another at all. The reasons for the similarities are likely because they wrote on similar surfaces (rock and wood) and that they adopted their letters from a similar source, likely Greek or some Aramaic script, from trading and/or travelling. At most you could say they got inspired from one another, but there's no concrete record for such interactions between them.

Second, your claim that Germanic Gods, culture, and languages, have Turkish origin, is blatantly false and historically illiterate. You must be a turk to make such a claim. Anyway, the Gods between the two are similar because they both derive from PIE source, same reason why Eastern religions are related. Phonetic similarities for their names are also there because of the same reason. You make connections between religious terms and names in old norse and Turkish, when you don't know what the old norse terms even mean. Yggdrasil doesn't even mean "World Tree", it means Óðinn's Carrier (Yggr (freightful) + drasil (horse, an animal that carries or drags)), a symbolic reference to how the tree carries him (literally by hanging) through a terrifying/terrific experience of ascension and rebirth. Ásgarðr means Fortress/Garden of the High Ones (Áss meaning high and Garðr meaning a closed off area). Ostrogoth does not com from Austergok. Ostro means eastern, yes, but that's not a reference to Turkey but rather that they are an eastern Gothic tribe. East as in eastern Germania. The term Goth comes from Got-þioda, Got People. The term is likely related to Gautar, a name for a tribe in southern Scandinavia.

And since you mentioned "horse-eating culture", note that horses were not universally eaten among all germanic peoples. They were eaten by some and others shunned eating them.

Lastly, Tyr is not named Tyr because of Tyrkland. Tyr comes fro Tiwaz meaning Sky, which shares the same PIE roots as Zeus and Jupiter both phonetically and conceptually. Why the focus shifted towards Óðinn is not completely certain, but I think it's because the germanics needed a more human/ancestral oriented God to focus their reverence to rather than a cosmological god and progenitor. That's because Óðinn serves as a blueprint for human ascension to divinity, how we can be reborn in a new and wiser form. He also guides heros and ancestors in death, again a reference to a new human ascetic vision rather than a cosmological father figure.

So yeah, before you make conclusions as to a connection between two distinct cultures, especially claiming one is derived from the other, at least learn more of the other on their own grounds beforehand. There's nothing wrong with having a wild hypothesis, but you must then back it up with something strong if you want to turn it into a claim.
