The nation-state is undergoing a major identity crisis, and Turkey is not exempted from this conventional disarray such that various ethnic groups tend to create mixed and complex loyalty positions before the state's national policy. Many are locating themselves with different ethnic origins depending on the political, economic, and social involvement/interaction with others. According to various regional and ethnic dispersal positions, the inclusion of these groups to form national unity indicates the emergent era of a national identity crisis as the nationalist Turks are experiencing new kinds of challenges stemming both from these cases and from mutually exclusive historical narratives. This study aims to analyze several competing Turkish national identities where each has a different conception of external threat feeding and shaping the lines/boundaries between themselves and the groups with whom they may have intense or indirect social or economic interaction.

Reflections of nationalism and the role of language policies in national identity formation in Post-Soviet Azerbaijan
Akyıldız, Selma; Tokluoğlu, Ayşe Ceylan; Department of Eurasian Studies (2019)
After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the newly independent Azerbaijan has entered its nation-building process. Azerbaijani political elites aimed to re-form national identity through a set of language policies. In this context, they focused on the alphabet, and on the name of the official language which they consider as markers of their national identity. Turkism versus Azerbaijanism as the two competing ideologies have left their mark on this process. Language has been used as a political tool for pr...
TURKISH NATIONAL IDENTITY AND ITS OTHERS: AN ANALYSIS OF THE EARLY REPUBLICAN NOVELS
Akcalı Yılmaz, Öznur; Kahraman, Sevilay; Yalvaç, Faruk; Department of International Relations (2022-10-26)

The narratives about the selected others were analyzed on the novels written by Halide Edip Adıvar, Yakup Kadri Karaosmanoğlu, Reşat Nuri Gün...
Kırım Tatarlarının Ana Vatana dönüşü ve kültürel canlanma sürecinde dil ve eğitim
Aydıngün, Ayşegül (2004-01-01)
Bu makale 1944 yılında ana vatanları Kırım'dan Orta Asya'ya sürülen ve vatana dönme haklarını ancak 1989 yılında elde eden Kırım Tatarları örneğinde etnik / milli kimlik- dil ilişkisini incelemektedir. Kırım'da gerçekleştirilen saha araştırması verilerine dayanan makalenin temel iddiası, dil-etnik / milli kimlik ilişkisinin, dilin sembolik ve etkileşimsel boyutlarının; kimliğin ise etnik /milli ve kültürel boyutlarının birbirinden ayrılması halinde anlaşılabileceğidir. Ayrıca, makalede, vatana dönüş sonrası...
Strategic National/Ethnic Identity Constructions: The Northern Cyprus Case
Akfirat, Serap Arslan; Öner Özkan, Bengi (2010-12-01)
The present documentary study investigates how political parties in Northern Cyprus define the national/ethnic identity of Turkish Cypriots in the service of their own collective projects within the context of Cyprus' unification (the unification of Turkish and Greek Cypriots under the roof of United Cyprus vs. keeping the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus/TRNC independent). For this purpose, all the official documents of the two political parties, namely Turkish Republican Party (CTP) and National Unity ...
