Turkish Diaspora
It's interesting to know there are 500,000 Turks living in the UK - I wonder how many UK citizens currently live in Turkey?
The largest Turkish population outside Turkey by a long way is Germany with 2.8m, some estimates even put it at 4m. Many of these Turks are second or third generation however and do not know Turkey.
Other countries with a significent Turkish diaspora are;
Bulgaria - 800,000 France - 500,000
Iraq - 500,000 US - 500,000
Holland - 400,000 Iran - 400,000
N Cyprus - 260,000 Austria - 250,000
Belgium - 200,000 Uzbekistan - 200,000
Syria - 190,000 Australia - 150,000
Greece - 130,000 Saudi Arabia - 120,000
Switzerland - 100,000 Russia - 100,000
Macedonia - 80,000 Denmark - 70,000
Sweden - 70,000 Azerbajan - 50,000
Canada - 50,000 Romania - 44,500
Egypt - 40,000 Israel - 20,000
Kosovo - 20,000 Norway - 15,000
Italy - 14,500 Japan - 10,000
