In 1881, the Treaty of Alkhal divided the Turkmen territories between Russia,
Persia and Afghanistan. The Turkmen in present-day Iran number about 1,100,000
and live in what is called Turkmensahra or Southern Turkmenistan, in and around
Gondbad Kavus (center of Turkmensahra), Bandar Turkmen, Aq-Qala and Gomishan,
all, roughly, along the Iran-Turkmenistan border from the Caspian Sea up to the
town of Sarakhs, from below the sea level to the mountain peaks of more than
3,000 m high.
The main tribes of the Iranian Turkmen are Yomut Tribe
(subdivided into Jafarbay, Atabay and Agh-Atabay), Nokhorli Tribe, Goklen Tribe,
Teke Tribe.
Most of Iranian Turkmen are Sunnis of the Hanafi branch, but
some follow the Naqshbandieh Sufism. They have also a history of the opposition
to the central governments.
The flag of Southern Turkmenistan is horizontal yellow - red - green with the
blue trapezoid at the hoist. There is a variant of that flag
with the addition of the crescent and the star. The disparity of the shades of
colors was never explained on the websites known to me. I don't think it has any
significance, just lack of regulations.
