The Turkic peoples are an ethnolinguistic group originally from Central Asia. Can you name the modern-day countries that have the most people of Turkic descent?
There are 3 million Turkish people in Germany, and 3/4 of Turkish people are Turkic, but there are fewer than 900,000 Turkic people in Germany? Do Turkic Turks like Germany less than non-Turkic Turks do?
Azerbaijan has less than 10 million people and around 92,5% are Turkic people, according to those sources.

Yeah I want to understand this more...why on earth are there 900k tukic people in syria then? And in Iraq. If it's not the kurds then what are these numbers?
I can think of several instances of this term appearing in the news but not moreso recently than at any other time. Ethnic strife with Turkish Uighurs in China. Conflicts between Kurdish and Turkic (and Arabic) peoples in the Levant. References to problems with immigrant populations in Germany. And of course in historical texts about the Middle East and Central Asia you run into the term all the time.
I seem to have not fully understood the answer to this before. Isn't there are a connection between Turkish and Turkic aside from Turkish being a Turkic language? If so what is it?
