The Kazakh diaspora in Turkey was established by Kazakhs of Eastern Turkestan.
In the early 60-s of the last century communes were formed in Izmir, Ankara, Konya, Istanbul and a number of other cities.
The vast majority of ethnic Kazakhs of Istanbul lives in the region of Zeytinburnu.
Despite the separation from their ancestral homeland, many Turkish Kazakhs strive to preserve their culture and traditions. Among them are Mustafa Kalkan and Ibrahim Kalkan, two brothers born and raised in Istanbul. Mustafa is a journalist, Ibrahim is a university teacher. Watch the projects “Qandastar" on Qazaq TV.
