Oghuz Yabgu State, was a Turkish state, founded by Oghuz Turks in the 10th century on the geography that is between the east coasts of Hazar see and Aral lake. The state was found in Eni-Kent which was a yayla for Oghuz Turks. The state was reigned by the ruler of the Oghuz Turks with the title of Yabgu which is similar with other Turkish ruling titles such as Khan, Giray, and Hakan but with a range below Hakan. The army was commanded by Subaşı. "Sü" means "Army" in Turkish and "başı" is for "the head of" or "the ruler of".

The state did not last long. Another Turkic budun Kimeks, ended the state by the 12th century. By the time, Selçuk Bey and his Kınık tribe (boy) headed Iran to found their own Muslim state which will become Great Seljuq Empire in the future.
