I dont get it why is turkmen affliated with muslim turk when the meaning of turkmen in turkish is pure turk or I am turk meaning pure turk, doesnt the turkmen havea longer history than the 10th century,
so by your statment the turkmens today is a mix of several turkic people or ils,
is it why turkmens look so different, there are mongoloid turkmens and caucasuinan turkmens and everything between, or is it because the oghuz that came mixed with local like the parthians and others

No, I didn't mean that. The name Türkmen was first used for a small group of Muslim Qarluqs. Later it was adopted for Muslim Oghuz.
