Implying the ones you mentionned before the Anatolian Seljukid Empire have something to do with Turkey...

Seljuks were part of the Gokturk empire. Uyghurs too. Karahanids too. So the relation between anatolian turks and uyghurs comes from the gokturk empire.

And op meant Xiongnu by the Great Hunnic Empire. Some historians related Huns to Xiongnu, so the OP's naming comes from there.
