The majority of today's Yemeni Turks are the descendants of theOttoman Turkish settlers who began to migrate to the region as part of the expansion of theOttoman Empire, which controlled, at least nominally, the region for over 300 years. TheYemen Eyalet (province) of the Ottoman Empire covered much of modern Yemen.
Today, estimates of the Turkish community in Yemen range from more than 10,000 to 100,000[1] About 6,000 live inSana'a.[4]
Some 150 kilometres from Yemen's capital, Sanaa,Beyt al-Turki is inhabited by Turkish inhabitants who first moved to the area around 200 years ago. The surname of most of the residents in this village is “Turki.”[3]
Bu noktadan hareketle, bölgede yaklaşık 10 bin ila 100 bin arasında Türk asıllı vatandaş bulunduğu tahmin edilmektedir.
