Özet:

 After the Justice And Development Party AK Party came to power, the policies of the state towards the diaspora changed. Of course, this radical change in politics was also reflected in the voting preferences of the diaspora. Identity is the main factor that determines voting behaviour. Thus, voting choice of the diaspora is primarily related to identity. This study focuses on to the diaspora living in Germany and concludes that there is a strong identity interaction between the AK PartyErdoğan and the diaspora. This research asserts that the policies and discourse of the AK Party and Erdoğan are directed towards the consolidation of the diaspora. The existence of this interaction with the election and demographic statistics of official institutions is supported by the results of previous surveys with similar outcomes and the literature related to the German diaspora and compare it with the data on Turkey to present a meaningful picture.

 Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi AK Parti iktidara geldikten sonra devletin diasporaya yönelik politikaları değişmiştir. Elbette siyasetteki bu radikal değişim diasporanın oy tercihlerine de yansımıştır. Diasporada kimlik, oy verme davranışını belirleyen temel faktördür. Dolayısıyla diasporanın oy verme tercihi öncelikle kimlikle ilişkilidir. Bu çalışma, Almanyada yaşayan diasporaya odaklanmakta ve AK PartiErdoğan ile diaspora arasında güçlü bir kimliksel etkileşimi olduğu sonucuna varmaktadır. Araştırma, AK Parti ve Erdoğanın politika ve söylemlerinin diasporanın konsolidasyonuna yönelik olduğunu ileri sürmektedir. Söz konusu ilişki, resmi kurumların seçim ve demografik istatistikleri ile benzer sonuçlara sahip önceki araştırmaların sonuçları ve Almanyadaki Türk diasporasına ilişkin literatür ile desteklenmekte ve Türkiyeye ilişkin verilerle karşılaştırılarak anlamlı bir tablo ortaya konulmaktadır.
