Probably slightly closer to Kurds, especially Northern (=Turkish) Kurds.

Turkmen from Turkmenistan or Turkmens from Iraq/Iran?

Nevertheless, Turkmen have much more Iranic (Persian) DNA in them than Turks in Anatolia. But Turkmen in Iraq/Iran are much more mixed with the Arabs and Iranic people.

Anatolian Turks as in those that don't have Central Asian ancestry and are purely Anatolian?

Anatolian peoples were assimilated by Greeks and Armenians long before the arrival of Turks.
