Türkiye’de Almanlar ve Almancılar
Germans and ‘Almancı’ in Turkey

Summary/Abstract: This paper notes the importance of developing culture of migration between Germany as the established destination country and Turkey as the country of origin historically. In this study we have used the 1990 and 2000 Census microdata sample. We have classifıed movers who have been somehow linked to Germany, either as citizens, or immigrants or returnees. Thus we have created 14 analytic groups using the variables in the census data. This classification can be an example for overall immigration patterns in Turkey. At the same time, detsination choices of return migrants have been taken into account. We argue that the emerging German immigrant population in Turkey is a case illustrating the ways in which a culture of migration can generate and maintain two way flows and in fact reversal of flows towards the original country of origin.
