A significant majority of the migrations to the Ottoman Empire since the 19th century are Crimean Tatars. A large number of Crimean immigrants from almost all classes have settled in various cities of Turkey. The Ottoman influence of the Crimean Tatars in the field of education and culture gradually increased and Crimean youth began to establish various societies. The Tatar Charity Organization is a society founded by Crimean Tatars in İstanbul after the Second Constitutional Era. It has been determined as the main mission to provide all kinds of solidarity and cooperation among the Crimean Tatars. The Society has adopted a non-political line for many years. The members of the organization have stayed away from the current developments in Crimea and some political-national concepts. The concept of “Tatarism”, which the society dealt with, remained an ambiguous expression. It was also seen that the Tatar Charity Organization, whose scope of activity was limited to the Tatar immigrants in the Ottoman Empire, could not have an active political organization. In our study, the aims and activities of the Tatar Charity Organization were tried to be determined.
XIX. yüzyıldan itibaren Osmanlı Devleti’ne yapılan göçlerin önemli bir çoğunluğunu Kırım Tatarları teşkil etmiştir. Hemen her sınıftan çok sayıda Kırımlı göçmen Türkiye’nin muhtelif şehirlerine yerleşmiştir. Kırım Tatarlarının eğitim ve kültür alanındaki Osmanlı etkisi giderek kendini göstermiş ve Kırımlı gençler çeşitli cemiyetler kurmaya başlamışlardır. Tatar Cemiyet-i Hayriyesi, II. Meşrutiyet sonrasında Kırım Tatarlarının İstanbul’da kurdukları bir cemiyettir. Kırım Tatarları arasında her türden dayanışmayı ve yardımlaşmayı sağlamak temel misyon olarak belirlenmiştir. Cemiyet uzun yıllar siyasi olmayan bir çizgi benimsemiştir. Cemiyet üyeleri Kırım’daki güncel gelişmeler ve siyasi-milli bazı kavramlardan uzak kalmışlardır. Cemiyetin ele aldığı “Tatarlık” kavramı ise muğlak bir ifadeden öteye geçememiştir. Faaliyet kapsamı Osmanlı Devleti’ndeki Tatar muhacirlerle sınırlı kalan Tatar Cemiyet-i Hayriyesinin aktif bir politik örgütlenmeye sahip olamadığı da görülmüştür. Çalışmamızda Tatar Cemiyet-i Hayriyesinin amaçları ve faaliyetleri tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır.
