Abstract :Lately, concepts related to culture such as culture, subculture,  ethnicity, ethnic origins, ethnic group etc. have gained  impartance in the process of globalisation, localization and  regional localization which take place altogether. However,  there is no concencus about the meanings and boundries of  these concepts. Especiaııy, the most contreversial ones are  related to ethnicity and ethnic groups. These concepts are also  very important for both Turkeyand Turkish culture.  It has been claimed that Oghuz, Turcoman and Yuruk  are different ethnic groups in some recent studies. In this study,  the meanings of concepts of Oghuz-Turcoman-Yuruk and what  Oghuz-Turcoman-Yuruk mean for Turkish culture have been  examined.
