Turks in Turkmenistan (Turkish:Türkmenistan'daki Türkler) are eitherTurkish people who live inTurkmenistan even though having been born outside Turkmenistan, or are Turkmenistan-born, but have Turkish roots. By Turkish roots, this could mean roots linking back toTurkey, or in neighbouring countries once part of theOttoman Empire that still have a population whose language is Turkish or who claims a Turkish identity or cultural heritage.
According to the 2012 Turkmen census, there was 13,000 Turks living in Turkmenistan.[1] The largest number of Turks were recorded in the capital city ofAshgabat where they numbered 10,500.[1]
