In the process that started with the Seljuk period, the Turks belonging to the Oghuz tribes living in the Middle East, Anatolia, and the Caucasus were called Turkmen. The concept of Iraqi Turkmen appears as a product of the British mandate in the region in the post-World War I period. It is seen that the main factor in the emergence of this concept is to create a separate sub-identity by removing Iraqi Turks from their position in Turkey, and the Turkish World. In order to emphasize the sensitivity of this issue, it was deemed appropriate to use the definition of Iraqi Turks in the title of the thesis. However, considering the definition of Turkmen in the official names of the organizations, and political parties in the region, and the synonymous use of the words Turk, and Turkmen, the concept of Iraqi Turkmen is used in the rest of the study.
