The Turks in the Czech Republic (Turkish: Çek Cumhuriyeti'ndeki Türkler) refers to ethnic Turkish migrants to the Czech Republic as well as the growing Czech-born community with full or partial Turkish origins. The majority of the Turkish community have come from the Republic of Turkey; however, there has also been ethnic Turkish migration from other post-Ottoman countries, particularly Turkish Macedonians from North Macedonia.[2]
History
Traditionally, the Czech Republic was not the most popular choice of migration for Turkish people who mostly went to neighboring Austria and Germany.[3] By the 2010s, international migration became a relatively new phenomenon for the Czech Republic and it gradually become a destination country due to its positive economic performance and political stability.[4] Consequently, Turks seeking better economic opportunities have been drawn to the country, whilst many have also migrated to undertake their higher education in Czech universities. Turks who have decided to remain permanently in the Czech Republic have also brought their families over which has contributed to the increasing population.[3]
