The Persians can be blamed for Turks moving into Central Asia but then again Oghuz Turks moving into Anatolia was not influenced by the Persian.
Khosrow I who ruled the Sassanid Empire from 531 A.D. to 579 A.D. wanted to end Hephthalites domination over Central Asia since they had become a powerful empire to the east of Iran. "The Persians and the Western Turkic Khaganate made an alliance and in 557 launched a two-pronged attack on the Hephthalites, taking advantage of their disorganization and disunity. The Hephthalite Empire was destroyed after the battle of Gol-Zarriun, and broke into several minor kingdoms around the Oxus."
With the destruction of Hephthalites, the Turks were able to fill the vacuum in Central Asai and moved into that region. Central Asia since then has been predominately Turkic.
In the 8th century, the Oghuz Turks made a new home and domain for themselves in the area between the Caspian and Aral seas, a region that is often referred to as Transoxiana, the western portion of Turkestan. They had moved westward from the Altay mountains passing through the Siberian steppes and settled in this region and also penetrated into southern Russia and the Volga from their bases in west China.
The Battle of Dandanaqan was fought in 1040 between the Seljuqs and the Ghaznavid Empire. The battle ended with a Seljuq victory and brought down the Ghaznavid domination in the Khorasan. On May 23, 1040, around 16,000 Seljuk soldiers engaged in battle with an estimated 50,000 Ghaznavid soldiers in Dandanaqan and defeated them. Tughrul's successful siege of Isfahan in 1050-1051, led to the establishment of the "Great Seljuk Empire"
The Seljuks occupied Khorasan and the cities of the area, encountering little resistance. Tughrul's successful siege of Isfahan in 1050-1051, led to the establishment of the "Great Seljuk Empire".
The Saljuq period adopted the cultural model and courtly etiquette of the great Ghaznavid sultans, but was also influenced by historical and social factors, most notably Ismaʿilism and Sufism and the growth of many urban centers,and by political decisions, including the decentralization of power, which gave rise to a substantial differentiation of the literary output of this period from the previous ones.In a territory that extended from Khorasan to Anatolia, the Saljuqs entrusted their internal politics to viziers and secretaries of Iranian stock and adopted Persian as the official language of the administration and of much of the court correspondence. The most important and immediate effect of these decisions was the very widespread diffusion of Persian as a literary language alongside Arabic. The Saljuqs, who had nocomparable cultural and literary heritage of their own in Turkish to counter Persian,accepted and cultivated the prestigious literary tradition provided by Persian language and culture. By so doing, they played a significant role in the diffusion of the Persian literary language and of the culture expressed by it, and this in turn led to a reappraisal and partial rejection of the dominance of Arabic as the lingua franca of educated society in the Middle East. On the basis of this prestige, the Persian of authors from the Saljuq period played a fundamental role in the standardization of the classical language, continuing a process already put into motion by the Samanid and Ghaznavid authors before them.Equally, it has to be said that Saljuq rule covered neither all of Persia, the easternmost regions being independently ruled by Ḡaznavids and Ḡorids, nor did it constitute a unified state, able to enforce strict and direct control over towns and lands. Several principalities survived or originated under the suzerainty of the Saljuq sultans, while wide rural areas were left to nomadic control. This implies that the dynastic label has little to do with the character of Saljuq art. Content and form, as they appear from the rich body of surviving objects, were developed from Persian traditions. The environment in which Persian art of the Saljuq period was produced consisted of a multi-centered landscape in which many of the cities of the Persian plateau (and of neighboring regions such as Iraq, Anatolia, the Caucasus, and Central Asia) created opportunities for artists and craftsmen

A tragic situation there, a nation torn apart because of economic/geopolitical interests of superpowers. Animals like these take advantage of the chaos for their own perverted ends.
