I think the reason why they have just a little bit more east eurasian is that they lived more „homogeneously“, strictly speaking even this is not very true since some are mixed with Kurds for or other locals. It generally seems most Terrekemes are just regular Azerbaijanis. This Terekeme sample with huge Turkic influence seemed to be not a Terekeme if I am not wrong.

I just read the information about him. His paternal side is from Ganja, Azerbaijan and his maternal side is from Shirak, Armenia which used to have large a Azerbaijani population. Shirak is close to the north west Azerbaijan, where people score the highest mongoloid. Maybe that is the reason this person has high east Eurasian ancestry.
So he is fully Azerbaijani, but maybe not Terekeme (then again I'm not sure what exactly is Terekeme).

This is not the case in the Republic as far as I am aware, but maybe it is in Turkey. Also, as I previously shared, in Dagestan there is a whole are near Derbent that is populated by Azerbaijanis. They call themselves Terekeme.
Interestingly, they are mostly Sunni Muslim, while the Derbent Azerbaijanis are (hardcore :))Shia/

That sounds interesting, that would mean this is the most Turkic Azerbaijani sample.

Terekeme comes from Arabic and means Türkmen, basically a subgruop of Azerbaijani people. Not all of them are only of Oghuz but also of Kipchak origin.

Yes I meant Azerbaijanis from Turkey, at least those which I met claimed to be Terekeme. There are also some in Daghestan like you said.

Terekeme is just an umbrella term to describe Nomadic turkic speakers. As Gecko said its just the arab version of "turkmen". Often this term gets wrongly used as a synonym for the Qarapapaq (which is a militaristic confederation of multiple tribes, similar to the Shahsevan or the Qashqai in Iran"). Maybe it was a regional term thats why it now gets mixed up with the Qarapapaq because many of the "terekeme" are Qarapapaq.

In general they score like regular Azerbaijanis. Maybe their turkic input on average is at the higher end because this whole region (independent of tribe) is more turkic in general because they were surrounded by Christians.

What's interesting is that most of those who call themselves Terekeme are Sunni muslim, while the majority of the Qarapapaqs are Shia.

Well, the previous TM average has always looked a bit unrealistic to me. I don't think Turkmenistanis are 15-17% East Eurasian on average. 25-30% would look a lot more realistic IMO.
