About Turkmen Brigades
The Turkmen Brigades are Iraqi Turkmen militias as part of the Popular Mobilization Forces formed in 2014. The group's commander, Said Yilmaz Najar, rejected proposals of a unified Turkmen militia from the Iraqi Turkmen Front, saying that his group has both Shia and Sunni Turkmen.
