Yes they in fact are.
I know Turks get a lot of hate here because of the

meme, and a lot of it is deserved, but that doesn't mean that Turks didn't have a lot of influence and spread thousands of years ago

They didn't call themselves Turk back then, they had many Terms. There's also a lot of "houses" and branches of the Turk-Tree. I'm a Kipchak descendant for example, who were descendants of the Kumans themselves (pic rel is the stretch of the Kuman/Kipchak Khaganate) and all groups are the descendants of the Gökturks. Central Asia and it's surrounding area is literally Gökturk turf.
