No, they are originally from Central Asia.

Modern Turkey is so named because the Ottoman Turks settled there and made it the centre of their empire.

The ancient Huns headed by Attila the Hun were a Turkic tribe. They came from Asia, from an area close to China. The Great Wall of China was built to keep the Turkic tribes away.

No, some are from Iran, Iraq (or if there is such a country since the U.S. has completely destroyed it) and Syria.
