sultans

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'turk rulers' is the definition.
'sultans' can be an answer for 'rulers' (sultan is a kind of ruler). I'm not certain of the 'turk' bit.

'sun blends with last' is the wordplay.
'blends with' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'blending' mean this (letters blended or mixed into a new form)).
'sun' anagrammed with 'last' gives 'SULTANS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for sultans that I've seen is " Eastern rulers".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
