Turkey, especially in Western Europe, has long been considered a country of emigration Indeed many in Turkey have thought along these lines too Yet, since the very days when the Turkish Republic was established in 1923, Turkey has actually been as much a country of immigration as it has been a country of emigration Well into the 1960s emigration was mostly the out-movement of non-Muslims Immigration constituted of people of “Turkish descent or culture” coming by and large from the neighboring Balkan countries Both emigration as well as immigration were very much part and parcel of the nation-building process in Turkey and neighboring countries It is emigration in the form of first “guest workers” in the 1960s and 1970s, followed by their respective families as well as asylum seekers and illegal migrants in the subsequent decades that earned Turkey its reputation as an emigration country Today emigration from Turkey to EU countries has fallen significantly Instead Turkish nationals are emigrating as contract workers, entrepreneurs, circular migrants, professionals, students and so-on, to the countries of the former Soviet Union, the Middle East and Central Asia and in lesser numbers to Australia, North America and even China as well as India Simultaneously, the nature of immigration into Turkey has been dramatically transformed especially since the collapse of the Soviet Union Asylum seekers, refugees, irregular and transit migrants, suit-case traders, students, professionals, retirees from Western European countries and migrant workers constitute this new form of immigration In short, since the early twentieth century Turkey has become a land of diverse flows of ever changing forms immigration and emigration

This collection reveals the diversity of Turkey’s migration experiences It brings together the findings of empirical research projects on topics as diverse as the role of festivals in the formation of Turkish identity in Berlin, and the experiences of African migrants and asylum seekers in Istanbul The book makes an important original contribution, and should help to dispel stereotypes on Turkey as just a source country for migrant workers for Western Europe
