Turkish diaspora
Encyclopedia
The Turkish diaspora refers to "Turks" who have emigrated from their homeland. Thus, the term may refer to citizens of Turkey
living abroad (which includes ethnic Turks and other ethnic minorities
) or ethnic Turks from traditional areas of Turkish settlement (such as Bulgaria
, Cyprus
, Georgia
, Greece
, Kosovo
, the Republic of Macedonia
and Romania
) who are living abroad.
Due to the large numbers of Turkish citizens and Turkish minorities
who have emigrated from their traditional homeland, the figures below do not necessarily show a true indication of the total Turkish population
. For example, although official data shows that there is 52,893 Turkish citizens in the United Kingdom
, the Home Affairs Committee states that there are now 500,000 British Turks made up of 300,000 Turkish Cypriots
, 150,000 Turkish nationals, and smaller groups of Bulgarian Turks and Romanian Turks.
. Thus, official numbers do not include individuals who have become naturalised citizens of their host country nor does it include their children who are born in the host country and obtain the host citizenship. For example, although there are 1,658,083 Turkish citizens in Germany, academic estimates suggest that there are now more than 4 million people of Turkish origin living in Germany.
