ABSTRACT

This article is an attempt to contribute to the empirical literature on the multiple identities of the Middle East through an under-studied ethnic group that has occupied the margins of the Middle Eastern politics, namely Iraqi Turkmens. It basically searches for the salience and interaction of a wide range of identity aspects. It attempts to break down and analyse the components of the identity of Iraqi Turkmens based mainly on the findings of a survey conducted among Sunni Iraqi Turkmens settled as refugees in Turkey following the ISIS attacks in Iraq starting from June 2014. Discovering ethnic, national, religious, sectarian and tribal aspects as the five main dimensions of the Iraqi Turkmen identity, the study proposes empirical evidence for how different identity aspects are simultaneously available, remain strong, and intermingle and conflict with each other.

摘要

本文试图通过一个被研究不足的，占据了中东政治边缘的民族，即伊拉克土库曼人，为有关中东多种身份的经验文献做出贡献。它基本上是在搜索各种身份方面的显着性和相互作用。该报告主要根据2014年6月ISIS袭击伊拉克后在伊拉克定居为难民的逊尼派伊拉克土库曼人进行的一项调查结果，试图分解和分析伊拉克土库曼人的身份构成。发现种族，民族，宗教，宗派和部落方面作为伊拉克土库曼人身份的五个主要方面，该研究提出了经验证据，说明如何同时获得不同的身份方面，如何保持其强大的地位，
