Forced Relocation of Caucasian Turks to Kazakhstan

Abstract

In this article, you can get information about the tragic fate of Meskhetian Turks, which survived the persecution, both from the Russian Empire and Soviet power. Also, give evidence of obstructing the solution of the national issue by post-Soviet Georgia against the forcibly displaced Turks in 1944 to Kazakhstan. In the fate of each people, its history occupies an important place. The share of the Turkish people, which is part of the ethnic groups of Turkish origin, has suffered a lot of undeserved trials. In the Soviet era, official politics, the so-called “national structure”, was a mess about the Meskhetian Muslims: the government at certain periods attributed them to Georgians, but in most cases - they were viewed as “Turks” or Azerbaijanis. In 1944, in special documents on the resettlement of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia, mainly the Meskhetian Turks were recorded as “Turks”, a small ethnic group - as “Azerbaijanis”.

Kafkas Türklerinin Kazakistan’a Zorla Göç Ettirilmesi

Abstract

Bu makalede, hem Rus İmparatorluğu hem de Sovyet iktidarından zulümden kurtulan Ahıska Türklerin trajik kaderi hakkında bilgi edinebilirsiniz. Ayrıca, 1944’te Kazakistan’a zorla göç ettirilmiş Ahıska Türklerine karşı Sovyet sonrası Gürcistan’ın ulusal sorununun çözümünü engellediğine dair düşüncelerde bulunmaktadır. Her insanın kaderinde tarihi önemli bir yer tutar. Türk kökenli etnik grupların bir parçası olan Türk halkının payı, pek çok hak edilmemiş acılardan etkilenmiştir. Sovyet döneminde, “ulusal yapı” olarak adlandırılan resmi siyaset, Ahıskalı Müslümanlar hakkında bir karışıklık meydana getirdi. Belirli dönemlerde Sovyet hükümeti onları Gürcülere bağladı. Ancak çoğu durumda Onlar “Türkler” veya Azerbaycanlılar olarak görülüyordu. 1944 yılında Gürcistan İçişleri Bakanlığı’nın yeniden yerleştirilmesine ilişkin özel belgelerde, çoğunlukla Kafkas/Ahıska Türkleri, “Azerbaycanlılar” olarak küçük bir etnik grup olan “Türkler” olarak kaydedildi.
