Özet:

 

Although the Turkish-American population in the United States is   relatively small compared to other immigrant groups, they are becoming   increasingly influential in promoting Turkish interests in their new country.   According to the 1990 census, the Turkish population in the US numbers   about 100.000, but the real figüre is vvell above official statistics. Turks novv   constitute a part of almost ali majör American cities. Despite grovving   Turkish visibility in American society, hovvever, the Turkish-American   population remains largely unknovvn and undocumented. Questions about   their socio-economic status, their integration in American society, their   relations vvith other groups, their organizations, the interest they have in   Turkish-American affairs, and, most importantly, the role they play in   promoting Turkish culture and Turkish interests in the United States have   not yet been examined. The purpose of this paper is thus to provide historical   background on Turkish immigration to the US; examine recent trends in the   grovving Turkish population by using socio-economic and demographic   statistics; provide contextual information about their relations vvith other   minorities and local communities; and finally, offer some conclusions and   suggestions conccrning hovv the Turkish diaspora in the US can be mobilized   in order to improve Turkish-American relations and to better promote   Turkish interests in the United States.
