A graph is called a quasi graph if the possibility of an edge of the graph being equal to its inverse is not excluded. Quasi HNN groups are a new generalizations of HNN groups. In this paper we introduce the concepts of a quasi graph of groups and its fundamental group, and show that the fundamental group of a quasi graph of groups is a quasi HNN group. The embedding theorem for the fundamental group of a quasi graph of groups is formulated and proved. Furthermore, we find the structures of groups induced by the vertices of a quasi graph of groups.
