Description
Syrian TurkmensWiki[link]
Syrian Turkmens are Syrian citizens of Turkish descent,
who have been living in the Syrian provinces of the Ottoman Empire
before its dissolution and continue to live in the modern country of Syria.
Turkmen came to Syria in several migration waves. Sometimes,
the Seljuks and the Mamelukes living in the area adopted the Turkmen in their armies,
and some Turkmen became aristocrats. Linda Cichlr
wrote about these Turkmen aristocratic families in her book about the city of Damascus.
