Ashina tribe was the ruling tribe of The First and the Second Turkic Khaganate. Ashina tribe were the first state to officially use the name "Turk" as a political identity and developed the earliest known Turkic alphabet
It is said that Karluks played very important role in Genghis Khan conquest of Central Asia!
In 1211, Karluk leaders (most notably Arslan Khan) pledged loyalty to Genghis Khan to secure protection from rival tribes
Karluks became vassals of mongols Voluntarily the Karluks of Semirechye joined the massive Mongol invasion force, which numbered between 150,000 and 200,000 soldiers.
Khwarezmians were Oghuz
Oghuz cities like Samarkand and Bukhara were destroyed. The Oghuz did not submit; instead, the Mongol onslaught triggered massive westward migrations. Waves of Oghuz tribes fled Central Asia entirely, moving into Persia and Anatolia (modern-day Turkey). This displaced group ultimately laid the foundational populations for the Seljuk and future Ottoman Empires.
Is this correct or no?
According to Chinese historical source of Tang dynasty the Kyrgyz people were tall blonde hair or red hair with blue eyes or green eyes and having white skin like European or Caucasian and they looked very different from their neighbouring Central Asian people!
Is this True or just a myth???
Even Kazakhs says before mongol invasion they looked like European
For example The Mongols in Central Asia got completely Turkified, how come the Tajiks did not?
If you look at history the Tajiks were under Uzbek rule for centuries and i think there surely have been alot of inter-mingling between Tajiks and Uzbeks!
How come the Tajiks did not get assimilated???
