TheSerbs in Turkey areTurkish citizens ofSerbian descent orSerbia-born people who reside inTurkey.
During the age of theOttoman Empire most of Serbia and the Balkans were under Turkish control, and many Serbs moved toIstanbul andAnatolia for reasons ranging from economic to forceful relocation. On 28 August 1521, theBelgrade Fortress was captured bySuleiman the Magnificent, using 250,000 Turkish soldiers and over 100 ships. Subsequently, most of the city was razed to the ground and its entire Orthodox Christian population was deported toIstanbul[1] to an area that has since become known as theBelgrade forest.[2] ManyJanissaries were of Serbian descent and were taken as children from their homes and educated in Turkey. Some Serbs achieved political prominence and severalGrand Viziers were born as Serbs.
