Turkish Diaspora

The Turkish diaspora refers to communities of Turkish people living outside Turkey. This migration has occurred since the late 19th century, driven by various factors such as economic opportunities, political unrest, and educational pursuits. Significant Turkish populations can be found in Europe, particularly Germany, as well as in the United States, Canada, and Australia. These communities maintain cultural ties to Turkey through language, traditions, and cuisine, while also integrating into their host countries. The Turkish diaspora plays a vital role in promoting cultural exchange and contributing to the multicultural fabric of their new homes.
