>>213743707Gokturk/Turuk later Turk is a medieval people who passed on their language to other peoples and disappeared long ago. It's like talking about ancient tribes like the Alemanni, Goths, Vandals and so on.
Of those old tribes, only we the kyrgyz have survived, the rest, like the khazars, cumans, the pechenegs, the kipchaks, have long since assimilated among other peoples and disappeared.
The current Turks from Anatolia are the seljuk tribe, which separated from another large confederation of the Oghuz, which Osman united and created the Ottoman Empire.
In short, yes, they are gokturks/turks by origin, just as today's british are germans by origin with celtic or whatever blood in them.
Those who say the opposite (turkish are not turkic or tatars are finno-ugric, kazakhs are mongols) most of the time are trolls like the mongols, greeks, armenians, russians, iranians, arabs, chinese and other opponents of ours with whom we have always fought.
