What if Turks were Zoroastrian?

[Böri]

Zoroastrianism is more the religion of Iranic groups, that's historically how it is.
Turks were Tengrist and Iranic groups Zoroastrians.

If Turks had converted to that religion they would get assimilate into Iranian groups.

not really zoroastrian but there were Manichean Turks/Uyghurs in the East. And Manicheanism is just a different version of Zoroastrianism, however, Uyghurs didn't get assimilated into Iranic groups.

Bad argument, they wouldn't be assimilated but they'd have a decent relationship with the Iranian speaking groups, maybe be multilingual since the Avesta is written in Old Iranian Avestan language and have some loanwords from Iranic languages too.

Iranics and turks had an alright relationship ever since the seljuks converted to islam tbh.

Turks were tolerant. Arabs weren't.

Zoroastrianism is Iranic. When you get it you end up being Iranicized.
Proto Indo-Iranians had religions involving sun worship and fire cult. Zoroastrianism developed from those PIE paganisms.

To this day, you have Iranic Ossetians in northern Caucasus.
They are mostly Christian but some of them are still pagans.

Even among them, whose Alanian ancestors supposedly lived more north in history, you can see fire cult or sun-worship like elements.

Zoroastrianism is more like ethnic Iranic religion and that goes back that way until Mithra (sun worship) of Avesta.
Not for Turks

Persian colonies in Asia Minor had those Indo-Iranian religions (Mithraism etc.) later when Persian colonies were hellenized, the Greeks transmitted that Sun cult to Rome.
