N2  - Following the Gulf War and its aftermath in 1990–1991, the presence of Turkmen populations in Iraq came to be perceived as a strategic asset by the Turkish state. It recognized the Turkmen community as a tool for legitimizing and implementing its policies in Iraq, particularly concerning the Kurdish region. Over time, the Turkish state has methodically implemented a policy of “state-led transnationalism” [Waterbury, 2010], utilizing the Turkmen community in Iraq to further its foreign policy objectives. This article aims to demonstrate how this policy is the result of a convergence of agendas between Turkish bureaucratic actors, Iraqi Turkmen diaspora networks in Turkey, and Turkmen political parties in Iraq. This transnational co-production of foreign policy, at the crossroad of migratory, diplomatic, and partisan dynamics, is promoting the emergence of an institutional ecosystem dedicated to Turkish policy toward Iraq’s Turkmen community
