Özet:

 In this study, the researchers have tried to determine what the perception of the Laz people by the Turkish society was. Although the ethnic origins of the Laz people in the past might be different; in the last millennium the Laz people have not only become culturally close to the Turks but also they have become ethnically united through marriages. In this process, the Laz people and Turks came to share the same religious and similar cultural codes and finally became relatives. Almost all Laz people in İstanbul and in other big cities have social, political and cultural integration with other Anatolian peoples, and this integration is evident in all its dimensions, even in Rize and Artvin, the homeland of the Laz people. In this study, the perception of the Laz people by the Turkish society was studied in 247 comments on the articles regarding the Laz people and the concept of Laz in Ekşi Sözlük. The entries were separated and analyzed as positive and negative comments. Consequently, it was understood that the perception of the Laz people by the Turkish society was predominantly positive and the Turkish people perceived the Laz people as patriotic, intelligent and humorous people.

 Bu çalışmada Türk Toplumunun Laz algısının ne olduğu belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Lazlar Anadolunun kuzey-doğusunda yaşayan bir halktır. Lazların tarihi geçmişteki etnik kökeni farklı olabilse de son bin yılda Lazlar Türklerle sadece kültürel olarak yakınlaşmakla kalmamışlar, evlilikler yoluyla aynı zamanda etnik olarak da birleşmişlerdir. Bu süreçte Lazlarla Türkler aynı dini ve benzer kültürel kodları paylaşır hale gelmişler ve nihayet akraba olmuşlardır. İstanbul ve diğer büyük şehirlerdeki Lazların hemen hepsi diğer Anadolu halklarıyla sosyal, siyasal ve kültürel entegrasyona geçtikleri gibi, Lazların anavatanı konumundaki Rize ve Artvinde bile bu entegrasyon hemen bütün boyutlarıyla belirgindir. Bu çalışmada Ekşi Sözlükte Laz ve Lazlar maddelerine yazılan 247 yorumda Türk toplumunun Laz algısı çalışılmıştır. Girdiler olumlu ve olumsuz yorumlar olarak ayrıştırılmış ve incelenmiştir. Sonuçta Türk toplumunun Laz algısının olumlu yönde ağırlık kazandığı ve onları vatansever, zeki ve komik insanlar olarak gördüğü anlaşılmıştır.
