I'm assuming that's the case. Because on the wiki it says they came from Central Asia and it seems to me Turkmen is the only region not effected by the Mongol people. They don't even have C3.
Read what Wikipedia says

"
However I'm surprised that these Turkmen Merv look more similar to the Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, Uzbeks than they do with the average Turkmen who look more similar to Persians and Iranic. It's almost the people of Merv are of some type of different Turkmen groups
And now look at he Turkmen Merv DNA. The Turkmen in this part are from 23% to 58% Mongoloid. While other studies location from southern Turkmenistan is a mere 13% to 30%.
