Who were the Pechenegs? The Pecheneg Turks were a nomadic, Turkic-speaking people from Central Asia who inhabited the steppes north of the Black Sea from the 8th to the 12th century. Known as fierce mounted warriors and traders, they significantly impacted the Kievan Rus, Byzantium, and Hungary, often clashing with these powers. They were and still are a part of the Oghuz Family, who are very close to Çepni Turks. #turks #pecheneg #çepni #tarih #historytok
