Central Asian migration to Türkiye has not historically been perceived as problematic from perspectives of adaptation or integration. The peoples of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan, and Tajikistan share common cultural and religious characteristics with Türkiye; therefore, Central Asian immigrants tend to adapt themselves to Turkish society more quickly than those from any other nations. After the Turkification of Anatolia, migration flows from Central Asia contributed significantly to Turkic culture taking root on the peninsula, and Central Asian immigrants continue to pursue new lives in Türkiye today for economic, sociopolitical, or educational purposes. This study investigates Central Asian migration to Türkiye, first explaining why people from Central Asia have chosen to emigrate. Türkiye’s migration challenges are then described. Finally, Central Asian migration dynamics are presented with current data support. Durmaz traces the long-term historical and contemporary migration flows from Central Asia to Türkiye, contextualising them within shared Turkic identity, post-Soviet transitions, and shifting economic opportunities. The chapter examines multiple periods of movement—from Tsarist and Soviet-era displacements to post-1991 labour migration and more recent educational mobility. Türkiye’s evolving migration policies, combined with cultural affinity and linguistic familiarity, have encouraged Central Asian migrants to choose Türkiye as an alternative to Russia, particularly amid tightening Russian immigration policies. Durmaz also highlights rising challenges within Türkiye, including irregular migration, labour exploitation, and security concerns shaped by regional conflict dynamics. The chapter ultimately positions Türkiye as a culturally resonant yet structurally complex destination for diverse Central Asian migrant groups.
