Iraqi Turkmen

Iraqi Turkmen do not come from Turkmenistan! Why do you keep putting them into the Turkmen people artile? That article is for people from Turkmenistan... do you not understand this? Iraqi Turkmen are people from the Seljuk and Ottoman Empire... they did not migrate from Turkmenistan. Justinz84 (talk) 16:26, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

They don't necessarily have to "come from Turkmenistan" (did the Yörük Türkmens in Anatolia come from Turkmenistan?) The Iraqi Turkmens are the descendants of the Seljuk Turkmens who conquered Iran, Iraq and Syria before conquering Anatolia in 1071. Pantepoptes (talk) 02:13, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
No they are the descendants of the Sljuks and the Ottomans. The majority migrated to Iraq during the ruling of the Ottomans. Why dont you read Iraqi Turkmen sources for yourself? Such as: http://www.kerkuk.net/kurumsal/?dil=2057&metin=20 and http://www.kirkuk.us/index.php?action=Definition%20of%20the%20Turkmen Justinz84 (talk) 12:49, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
The Turkmens were in Kirkuk long before the Ottoman period (during the Seljuk period and also during the Crusades, there were Turkmens in Kirkuk) Pantepoptes (talk) 12:55, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Please do not assume ownership of articles such as Accession of Turkey to the European Union. If you aren't willing to allow your contributions to be edited extensively or be redistributed by others, please do not submit them. Thank you. LibStar (talk) 15:19, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Accession of Turkey to the European Union. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. LibStar (talk) 15:27, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
