During Ottoman reign, Turkmens were favored due to a linguistic affinity with Turks. On the contrary, Saddam Hussein persecuted non Arab minorities such as Turkmens and Kurds but after his fall, they have begun to dispute the control of oil rich Kirkuk region. Their total population is about 2 millions and concentrated on a narrow band which runs from Mosul to Diala by passing Kirkuk.
