To explain, Turco-Persian is not ethnic it is cultural. Since you clearly can not understand that. Read the first sentence again. 
The lead, which typical nationalists have such a difficult time understanding, states, "The Sultanate of Rum or Seljuk Sultanate of Rum, was a medieval(time period) Turko-Persian('culture), Sunni Muslim(religion) state in Anatolia, originating from the Seljuk Turks(ethnicity)." So to clear it up so you can understand, Turko-Persian is cultural, which is proven in the article under the section CULTURE. 
"Even when the land of Rum became politically independent, it remained a colonial extension of Turco-Persian culture which had its centers in Iran and Central Asia."  Istanbul and the Civilization of the Ottoman Empire, Bernard Lewis, page 29. 
"The Turko-Persian Islamicate culture that emerged under the Samanids and the Qarakhanids was carried by succeeding dynasties into Western and Southern Asia - in particular, by the Seljuqs and their successor states who presided over Iran, Syria, and Anatolia until the thirteenth century...".  Turko-Persia in Historical Perspective, Robert L. Canfield, page 13.   22:16
