It's a mixture of shi'a sufism and turkic paganazim -göktanrı(Skygod) religion-, some even says it's a different religion than a sect of islam. I believe it's turkicized version of Islam.
Technically, I don't consider it as a sect in Islam because anything which excludes one of the five pillars of Islam cannot be Islam.
