Oghuz Turks

Oghuz Turks were a historical western Turkic people that formed a tribal confederation in the area around the Caspian Sea in Central Asia during the early Middle Ages.[1]

The Oghuz tribe also appears in Turkic Mythology. For example, the Oghuz Tribe would consist of 24 branches, from which the current Turks, Azeris and Turkmens would descend. The Oghuz people themselves are said to be descended from the legendary Turkish ruler Oghuz Khagan.[2] Oghuz means "tribe" and Khagan means"ruler".
