AbstractAhiska Turks migrate to Turkey from Russia, Georgia, Azerbaijan and Kyrgyzstan for several reasons. After 1992 many of them settled into Turkish cities such as Iğdır, Bursa, İstanbul, Ankara, Kocaeli, İzmir and Antalya. Though Ahıska Turks who settled in Antalya have lived some difficulties at first, they have adapted to social environment easily. The aim of this study is to investigate the struggle of Ahıska Turks to prepare their futures and to protect their values. To this aim we conducted a survey on Ahıska Turks who are living in Antalya. It is revealed that most of them are satisfied from their lives in Turkey and they are not thinking to go back.
