Meskhetian Turks: An Introduction to their History, Culture and Resettlement Experiences

Цитата:
The Meskhetian Turks are a group of Sunni Muslim Turks who have historically lived in the Meskheti region (pronounced mas-kha-ti) on the border between Turkey and Georgia. Under the rule of the Soviet Union, the Meskhetian Turks were deported to Central Asia. In 1989 there was a pogrom against the Meskhetians in Fergana Valley, Uzbekistan. Hundreds of Meskhetian Turks then moved to Azerbaijan. In 2004 the United States began accepting Meskhetian Turks as refugees. A small number were able move back to Georgia, which is considered the homeland of most Meskhetian Turks.
