Abstract
Iran is rich in diversity, and ethnic diversity demands the importance of examining its various aspects. Therefore, current research seeks to better understand and know the Turkman people more deeply and examine the interpretation of their ethnic identity by the people of these people. Also, we are trying to find out what definition of national identity Turkmen have against ethnic identity, and in comparison, what is their attachment to national identity? In this regard, discussions were held with Turkmen people in the form of open interviews, and narratives were analyzed using the thematic analysis method. Findings on 6 main themes: The poverty of historical-cultural information, the predominance of nationality over ethnicity, the fading of religious beliefs, the duality of ethnic and official language, the lack of ethnic attitude in job appointments, and the symbolic and not practical presence of elders were formed. The results show that the Turkmen ethnicity suffers from a paradox of cognitive weakness and ethnic belonging in an ethnic reinterpretation. At the same time, in comparison, their national identity is more prominent than their ethnic identity.
