Iraqi Turkmen
The Iraqi Turkmen (also spelled as Turkoman and Turcoman; Turkish: Irak Türkmenleri), also referred to as Iraqi Turks,[13][14] Turkish-Iraqis,[15] the Turkish minority in Iraq,[14] and the Iraqi-Turkish minority[16] (Arabic: تركمان العراق, romanized: Turkumān al-ʻIrāq; Turkish: Irak Türkleri) are Iraq's third largest ethnic group.[17][18] They make up to 10%–13% of the Iraqi population and are native to northern Iraq.[3][4][5][6] Iraqi Turkmen share ties with Turkish people, and do not identify with the Turkmen of Turkmenistan and Central Asia.[19][20][21][1][2]
