Summary/Abstract: This study will focus on the ethnic ties of the Circassian communities living in Turkey, as well as the problems faced by the Circassian communities in the mass migration movements caused by the Syrian crisis. The Syrian Circassians, who during the civil war in Syria took refuge in Turkey, tried to solve their housing and other problems that arose during the Great Circassian migration, with the help of ethnic predecessors who had settled in Turkey. This process contributed to the development of ethnic solidarity and social cohesion. During the Great Circassian migration, the Circassians who came to Turkey after the Syrian crisis of 2011 met with the Circassians, who by that time were already living in Turkey.
