🇸🇾 Syrian Turkmen: Fighting to Survive | Al Jazeera World

- The Turkmen are an ethnic minority in Syria whose ancestors were Turkic peoples who fanned out across Central and East Asia in the 11th century. The Ottomans encouraged them to migrate south, so when the Ottoman Empire was divided after World War I, their descendants found themselves in the very north of Syria, close to the Turkish border.
President Bashar al-Assad's Syria is a secular, socialist republic and in pursuing a policy of "Arab unity", it doesn't recognise many, if any, ethnic minorities. As such, the Turkmen suffered institutional discrimination over religion, employment and education for many years and were forbidden from writing and publishing in their native Turkish dialect.
When they took part in the March 2011 uprising against the Syrian government, they suffered harassment, attacks, arrests and torture.
"The [government's] prisons are two levels below ground," says Adil Orli, commander of Camp 1071, a training facility in the Turkmen Mountain region near the Turkish border.

I am from Latakia and ive met many Turkmen there, they are wonderful people with great culture and beautiful language, im so sorry for the war its our faults, Turkmen has been a blessing for syria and i hope we never lose you.
Masha Bitar
you are a kind person and we need people like you in this world! We need to accept other people, tribes, groups, their language and special culture without hate and discrimination. (I am not talking about the war and the sides they took and whether this is good or bad, I am just talking about normal people, trying to live life in a good way)
Margarita Peterson so why turkmens fight along nusra in idlib..alqaeda/nusra is against all you wrote...funny
@Margarita Peterson
i agree with everything you said, we can learn from each others cultures, and i personally had good experience with all kind of different people and cultures that i met, thank you!
@Boris Práznovský not all turkmen are fighting, and for those who fight, not all of them fight for nusra,
they are a minority that is trying to find away to survive this aggressive war, who can blame them?.
No problem brother. We always support the Syrian people. When the world close there eye Turkiye took 4 million refugees and turkiye helped free syrian army. We have relation and brotherhood for 1000 years. We hold no grudge, your people dont start war against Turks. Assad started war against Turkmens
Ottoman Empire
You are very confused, or just ignorant.

Irak kerkuk turkmen adına selam olsun herkim yorumum okuyana
Türkmeneli den selam olsun qardaşlarıma
I was always curious about Turkmens in Iraq and Syria. Their language is different from Turkmenistan. It sounds like Turkish of Turkey.
we are all Turk. because of migration people adepted the language and mixxed it with other languages. Turkmenistan people are Turkic. Turkmen inside Syria also Turk . Dont you consider your self as Turk ?
We are Turkmen and Turks and Humans. It depends on your distance from the matter. We share the same language with Turks but culturally, we may be closer to eastern Turkic people like Uyghurs than to western ones like people from Azerbayjan and Turkey. We also look much more like Uyghurs than Turkish.
Ha med you are just stupid sorry but. There Is no Türkmen or anything. We are all turks. Turks were nomadic people. You are dividing the türkic world. Shame on you. The Russian assimilation politics worked I see. Shame of your self and who ever try to divide the türkic world
Ha med. Im a turkmen from turkey. Turkey as a state was founded by invading turkmen, dont forget that. This langauge spoken by syrian turkmens is much closer to azerbaijani turkmen langauge because langauges changes over time and you have to consider the geographic distance. But azerbaijani people, turkish people, syrian & iraqi turkmens, gagauz and turkmenistan turkmen are ALL Oghuz turkmens.
I was born into a turkmen tribe, the chepni and Im proud turkmen.
I didn't know there are Turkmen tribes in Turkey as well. Yashathin Turkmens ;)
Where are population centers for Turkmens in Turkey? Any of them live nomadic lifestyle?
Yaşa Türkmenli
Thanks al jazera.
Take back your people to central asia.
Why don't you go back to Kenya?
Love to every Turkmen out there ❤️❤️
Thank you al jazeera
Brave turkman people. MashaAllah
To be proud of Turk to be Proud of Turkmen. Aleppo is Türkmen, Kerkük is Türkmen , Musul is Türkmen. If you want support we will support you.
None of these places are turk all those turkmen came from Turkey
@@teknul89they are their since The Great Seljuk empire qnd even before that, for more than 1000 years.
@@Krim-zp8km No they are not, not even Seljuk Empire is from there before that they came from Turkmenistan and before that they came somewhere close to Mongolia
Turkmens and Turks are very mixed people today why do you think their ancestors looks like Chinese people ?
Don't worry my Turkish brothers the mehmetçik army has come to save use
very brave peoples the turkmens
I watched every second of this Film.
Remove vodka
x Z congratulations!
the minorty always gets screwed over such is the way of the world
This is really trajic to watch the suffering of ethnic Turkmen in Syria who are caught in the middle between conflicting regimes of Assad's and Turkey. Thankfully, their inhabited land is in North West Syria and close to Turkey who can easily come to their rescue. I have heard that the Syrian army general commander was a Syrian Turkmen, which I find odd in light of this report.
very interesting
Sultan Selim khan is Anatolian Turk -shah ismail is iranian turk
God bless all azeri turks(turkmens)
زنده باد ترکمن ها ترکها فقط تنها راه نجات افزایش جمعیت
💙❤️💙🇹🇷
gardash sizin veteniniz Azerbaycan
Why can't people be treated fairly everyone's blood is red.
Turkey for Turkmens, Kurdistan for Kurds, Arabia for Arabs!
I gonna get comment bombed
So this 1071 brigade is it Salafist? Or anything similar to that politically/ideologically?
No there aren't if you watch 40.36 man telling that they are fighting against al qaeda groups like nusta and ex iraqi al qaeda.nusra and isis.
TURAN is usss ideologyy;).
may Allah help u
BIRAKIN MENIM TURKMENELIMIq
Bir Yavuz yok ki damını dizine indirsin bu düzenin Türkmenlere şan katsın
Iki agac icin o kadar olay yapan serefsizlere nalet olsun hani sizin insan sevginiz
❤️💙❤️🇹🇷
When was this filmed?
Before you were born.
Tomorrow.
Deep Sarkar stfu banglaloser
Lebanon Syria Assyria Iraq the Christian near east of the fertile crescent from mamelukes to Ottoman they came and pushed the original inhabitants out of their lands . do you ever wonder how come the Muslim world is in turmoil and full of violence ? I hope God gives them better judgement and better heart and may he have mercy on all creatures big and small
Turmens have autonomy
What happen with the Syrian Turmen????. There must be justice with them.
It is not Turkmen language
soydaslar..
I can't put my finger on it, but there is something fishy about this whole report.
Why you don't go back to Mongolia
Why you white russians get out of central asia
What's the matter with that intro m? It sounds and m looks terrible. Pixellated and terrible sound, like it has been resampled over and over.
alt yazı baya eksik ve kötü çevrilmiş.... english translation from turkish is poor
Summer camp!
Long live Assad, love from INDIA
Most likely this guys from Tajikistan ( they speak Farcy ) Persian
If airplane shot from Turkey territory it does not by Turkmens
I'm going to watch this but these guys joined up with Islamic State. I had been under that impression of course I could be wrong.
There is/was at least 1,5 and 2,5 million Turkmens in Syria. People in the video told it- some Turkmens joined ISIS and Al Qaeda for either money or blind faith (the same like many arabs and kurds in the region). Right now there is even a Turkmen brigade in the Kurdish led SDF. The big majority of Turkmens fight for themselves though- either in the mountains in Latakia and Idlib around the Turkish border or in the Turkish Euphrates Shield area between Azaz, Jerablus and Al Bab. Around half a million are refugees in Turkey though but most of them are still in Syria.
Hey Al Jazeera. can you speak Turkmen ?
The indigenous people of Syria are the Saudis
Shami !
1887 year and the end of ottoman empire
1923
They, Turkish and Azeris aren't really turkic.....
The soldiers in the video are fighting on the mountain and are not taking care of their own self-care. Central Asian Turks and we are a group of cousins. Azerbaijan and Turkey are brothers.
propaganda as usual .
Compare Turkmen faces on wikipedia
These people are living hundreds of years in syria so they mix up with arab, can be said turko-arab a hybrid clan, aslike turko-mongol, turko-iranian and extra.
bla bla us propaganda....
disturbed 1979 More like Qatari propaganda you moron.
Strange these so called opposition forces have all kind of fancy and modern weapons but complaining for breakfast.
disturbed 1979
Kerkuk=Turkmen eli!
they have a country called Turkmenistan they can go too or any other of turk countries. they have 0 right to anything in syria
We are the successors of the brave Atabeg‘s who fought against the crusaders! We are the descandents of Imād ad-Dīn Zankī Rahimahullah, Ḍiyāʾ ad-Dīn ʿAḍud ad-Daula Abū Šuǧāʿ Muḥammad Alp-Arslan Rahimahullah and Selīm-şāh bin Bāyezīd Rahimahullah! We are the defenders of Quran and sunnah and we will rather die and be forgotten by humanity then leave our homes we settled 1000years ago! Even if you kill all of us Sub’hanAllah there is no problem because we believe in Allāh Azawajal and we have no problems with becoming shuhāda.
This is like saying Mexicans should go back to Spain and that Brazilians should go back to Portugal, and that Kurds should go back to Iran.
@@basedtvrk9125 ... or Palestinians go back to Arabic peninsula.
I hope that Turks understand that kurds should have the same rights every where.
Syria is an Arab country! You can't change this fact! If you don't like it or seeking anything to pleasure Turkey not the Arab world you must leave! Mongolia is your home!
ArabAM 93 u are right there are many Turkish countries why don't they Go there isn't it better safer ..in a Turkish country? I know why they stay there they are imperialist s who think one day we will take over like ottoman.
+Max
Arabs have lived in modern Syria for Millenias. Banu Bakr (Diyar Bakr) Banu Shayban Ghassanids and Tukhirs. The Palmyrene Empire was Arab and Aramean! The Arabs lived in Mesopotamia longer than you Turks did in Anatolia.
Yeah, that's true anymore. Those beautiful Turkmen cities are yours anymore, as like a thousand years ago. You can bombing them freely!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA thats why u cowards run in war
Shah İsmail was also a turkmen Qizilbash
Syria belongs to Arabians of Nejd and Hejaz
انت عن جد سعودي؟
Turkmenistan ( former Russia ) and turkey is different. This guys does not speak even close to Turkmen people.
@Carpet Cleaning Turkmenistan has nothing to do with it. These Turkmen are from different Turk clans ("Turkey"/Osman Empire), Azerbaiyán and peoples from the Crimea (fled after the Crimea war).
Jai hind
Change the word from Assad to erdogan and change turkeman to Kurds then you will know why Kurds fight Turkish army
Their face look is not Turkmen
I start to understand why Al Jazeera is called a religious propaganda machine..
Stop. Do not say they Turkmen
The one and only pro terrorism channel in the world.
they are talking about more then just turkish peeps lol
Don't believe them. Turkmens are not part of this!
Real Turkmen people look very different from this guys
You are wrong they are same
Their language not Turkmen
Their are not Turkmen definitely
some kind of Iranian
I Think it is arabic
They are not Turkmen
Turkmen ist turk
