Modern Turkey was founded byMustafa Kemal Atatürk assecular (Laiklik, Turkish adaptation ofFrenchLaïcité), i.e. without astate religion, or separate ethnic divisions/ identities. The concept of "minorities" has only been accepted by the Republic of Turkey as defined by theTreaty of Lausanne (1923) and thence strictly limited toGreeks,Jews andArmenians, only based on religious affiliation, excluding from the scope of the concept the ethnic identities of these minorities as of others such as the Kurds who make up 15% of the country; others include Assyrians of various Christian denominations, Alevis and all the others.[31][32][33][34] Provisions of the Lausanne Treaty were extended toBulgarians in Turkey by theTurkey-Bulgaria Friendship Treaty (Türkiye ve Bulgaristan Arasındaki Dostluk Antlaşması) of 18 October 1925.[33][35][36][37] According to theMinistry of Foreign Affairs (Turkey), as of 2008, there were 89,000 Turkish citizens belonging to one of the three recognized minorities, two thirds of Armenian descent.[38] On 18 June 2013, the Ankara 13th Circuit Administrative Court unanimously ruled that the Assyrians were included as beneficiaries of the Lausanne Treaty,[39] so that Assyrians were allowed to open the first school teaching in their mother tongue.[40][41]
The wordTurk or Turkish also has a wider meaning in a historical context because, at times, especially in the past, it has been used to refer to all Muslim inhabitants of theOttoman Empire irrespective of their ethnicity.[42]
According to the 2016 edition of the CIA World Factbook, 70–75% of Turkey's population consists of ethnic Turks, with Kurds accounting for 19% and other minorities between 6 and 11%.[5]According toMilliyet, a 2008 report prepared for theNational Security Council of Turkey by academics of threeTurkish universities in eastern Anatolia suggested that there are approximately 55 million ethnicTurks, 9.6 millionKurds, 3 millionZazas, 2.5 millionCircassians, 2 millionBosniaks, 500,000–1.3 millionAlbanians, 1,000,000Georgians, 870,000Arabs, 600,000Pomaks, 80,000Laz, 60,000Armenians, 30,000British, 25,000Assyrians, 20,000Jews, 15,000Greeks, and 500Yazidis living in Turkey.[43]
According to a survey published in 2022 by Konda Research, Turks make up 77% of the population, while 19% self-identify as Kurd. Arabs (Syrian refugees excluded) make up 2%, and other ethnic groups are 2% of the population.[44]
Since the immigration to the big cities in the west of Turkey, interethnic marriage has become more common. A recent study estimates that there are 2,708,000 marriages between Turks and Kurds.[45]
According to a survey done in March 2020 by Area Araştırma, 20.4% of the total population of Turkey claim to be Kurdish (either Kurmanji speaking or Zazaki speaking).

A possible list of ethnic groups living in Turkey could be as follows:[56]
Turkey has officially been asecular country since its1924 constitution was amended in 1928. This was later strengthened and entrenched with the wider appliance oflaicism by founder Atatürk during the mid-1930s, as part of theRepublican reforms.
There are no official statistics of people's religious beliefs nor is it asked in the census. According to theUnited States Department of State'sInternational Religious Freedom Report 2008, the Turkish government considers 99 percent of the population isMuslim, the majority of which isHanafi Sunni.[58] A similar figure can be found in the current USCentral Intelligence Agency (CIA)the World Factbook (99.8%).[5] The remaining 0.2% is other - mostly Christians and Jews.[5] However, these are based on the existing religion information written on every citizen's nationalid card, that is automatically passed on from the parents to every newborn, and do not necessarily represent individual choice. Religious records can be changed or even blanked on the request of citizen, by filing ane-government application since May 2020, using a validelectronic signature to sign the electronic application. Any change in religion records additionally results in a new ID card being issued. Any change in religion record also leaves a permanent trail in thecensus record, however, record of change of religion is not accessible except for the citizen in question, next-of-kins of the citizen in question, the citizenship administration and courts.[59]
In 2023, according toIpsos, 83% are Muslim, 12% haveno religion, 2% prefer not to say, 2% are Christian and 2% are other religions.[60] In a similar survey in 2016, Islam comprised 82% of the total population, followed by 7% no religion, 6%Spiritual but not religious, 2%Christian, 1%Buddhist and 1% other.[61]
In 2018, a poll conducted byEurobarometer andKONDA Research and Consultancy and some other research institutes showed that 3% of those interviewed had no religion.[62][63] In 2013, the same institutions showed that around 0.5% of the population had no religion.
Between 8 million[64] and 20 million Turks areAlevis.[58]
In 2006, in a poll conducted bySabancı University, 98.3% of Turks revealed they were Muslim.[65]In 2005, a Eurobarometer poll on Europeans views onethics in science and technology reported 95% of Turkish citizens answered that "they believe there is a God", while about 2% responded "I believe there is some sort of spirit or life force", about 1% that "they do not believe there is any sort of spirit, God, or life force" and about 1% "DK" (that they don't know).[66] Similar figures were found in some other European countries.[66]
There is concern over the future of theGreek Orthodox Patriarchate, which suffers from a lack of trainedclergy due to the closure of theHalki seminary. The state does not recognise the Ecumenical status of thePatriarch of Constantinople.[67]

The percentage of non-Muslims in Turkey fell from 19.1% in 1914 to 2.5% percent in 1927.[68] The drop was the result of thelate Ottoman genocides, thepopulation exchange between Greece and Turkey[69] and theemigration of Christians.[70] The 1942Wealth Tax on non-Muslims, the emigration of many of Turkish Jews to Israel after 1948, and the 1955Istanbul pogrom further contributed to the decline of Turkey's non-Muslim population.
In 2018, according to a KONDA survey, thereligiosity was the following:[71][72]

Immigration to Turkey is the process by which peoplemigrate toTurkey to reside in the country. After thedissolution of the Ottoman Empire followingTurkish War of Independence, and The 1923Population exchange between Greece and Turkey,exodus by the large portion ofTurkish (Turkic) andMuslim peoples from theBalkans (Balkan Turks,Albanians,Bosniaks,Pomaks),Caucasus (Abkhazians,Ajarians,Circassians,Chechens,Lezgins),Crimea (Crimean Tatar diaspora), andCrete (Cretan Turks) took refuge in present-day Turkey and moulded the country's fundamental features. Trends of immigration towards Turkey continue to this day, although the motives are more varied and are usually in line with the patterns of globalimmigration movements — Turkey, for example, receives many economic migrants from nearby countries such asArmenia,Moldova,Georgia,Iran, andAzerbaijan, but also fromCentral Asia,Ukraine andRussia.Turkey's migrant crisis during the 2010s saw high numbers of people arriving in Turkey, particularlythose fleeing theSyrian civil war.
In 2022, nearly 100,000 Russian citizens migrated to Turkey, becoming the first in the list of foreigners who moved to Turkey, meaning an increase of more than 218% from 2021.[82]
In order to obtainTurkish citizenship there is a range of legal grounds, which can include: reunification with their family, marriage to a Turkish citizen, for the purchase of real estate worth $400,000 from a Turkish citizen or company.[83] The minimum investment amount was increased in May 2022, previously it was enough to invest $250,000. Also the basis is to work in Turkey, training, business, medical treatment, refugee status. More than 240,000 Syrian citizens acquired Turkish citizenship since 2011.[84]

Turkey is a nation–state built on remnants of the Ottoman Empire where non-Muslim minorities were guaranteed the right to set up educational institutions; however, since its establishment, it has officially recognised only Armenians, Greeks and Jews as minorities and guaranteed them the right to manage educational institutions as enshrined in the Treaty of Lausanne. [...] Private language teaching courses teach 'traditionally used languages', elective language courses have been introduced in public schools and universities are allowed to teach minority languages.
Turkey signed the Covenant on 15 August 2000 and ratified it on 23 September 2003. However, Turkey put a reservation on Article 27 of the Covenant which limited the scope of the right of ethnic, religious or linguistic minorities to enjoy their own culture, to profess and practice their own religion or to use their own language. This reservation provides that this right will be implemented and applied in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Turkish Constitution and the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne. This implies that Turkey grants educational right in minority languages only to the recognized minorities covered by the Lausanne who are the Armenians, Greeks and the Jews.
Oran farther points out that the rights set out for the four categories are stated to be the 'fundamental law' of the land, so that no legislation or official action shall conflict or interfere with these stipulations or prevail over them (article 37). [...] According to the Turkish state, only Greek, Armenian and Jewish non-Muslims were granted minority protection by the Lausanne Treaty. [...] Except for non-Muslim populations – that is, Greeks, Jews and Armenians - none of the other minority groups' language rights have beende jure protected by the legal system in Turkey.
The fact that Turkish constitutional law takes an even more restrictive approach to minority rights than required under the Treaty of Lausanne was recognised by the UN Committee on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (CERD) in its concluding observations on the combined fourth to sixth periodic reports of Turkey. The CERD noted that "the treaty of Lausanne does not explicitly prohibit the recognition of other groups as minorities" and that Turkey should consider recognising the minority status of other groups, such as Kurds. 50 In practice, this means that Turkey grants minority rights to "Greek, Armenian and Jewish minority communities while denying their possible impact for unrecognized minority groups (e.g. Kurds, Alevis, Arabs, Syriacs, Protestants, Roma etc.)".
