Stopped? No, I personally know and know of many Uygurs who move there all the time. Also, a lot of Kazaks go there to study and many of them choose to live there afterwards. Those are probably the 2 most significant Turk migrations into Turkey from Central Asia. But you cannot claim that those who choose to live in Turkey can be considered as citizens and natives.. How could you make sure of that they would not leave Turkey for their own country one day. If you say they become citizens of Turkey. That is OK. But it seems not possible due to the fact that recently Turkish burocracy has been Kurdicized and that is why most Turkic appliants of citizenship are refused to be granted citizenship. Iraqi Turkomans are an example for that. Am I wrong? If I am please correct me. |

In support to Tangriberdi, I have myself Uyghur friends who immigrated from China (Eastern Turkestan) to live in İstanbul and whom after 10 years, have yet to be granted Turkish Citizenship.

My grandmother's origins go back to the Yörüks of Manavgat in Antalya. She, along with my father and my aunts, have colored eyes.

Yea, Turkey is slowly turning into a Turkistan/Turan community. But I think that Karachay Turks are the majority in Turkey, of non-Anatolian Turks. But they're assimilated too much into mainstream Turkish society, lose their dialects and seem to even adopt the crook like mentality many of us have. |

Crimean Tatars are the majority, followed by Qazaqs of East Turkestân, Uygurs, Kazan Tatars and Qarachais. I take Balkan Turks, ýraqi Turks and Azeris as Anatolian Turks. |

Be sure that it is not limited to Celts. Our family has nothing to do with the Celts, but in summer some of our relatives have freckles. |
