Arslan Khaganate

The Arslan Khaganate (Turkish: Arslanlar Hanligi) also known as the Oghuz Khaganate (Turkish: Oguz Hanligi), was a Turkic Nomadic state that existed in central Asia. Commonly considered to have been founded by Alp Arslan The Wolf when he was elected by kurultay to become the Khagan in 802. It is largely credited with preserving the distinct Oghuz identity of Turks and Turkmen in central Asia when other more populous states threatened to envelope their territory.
