There is a significant decrease in the average number of children in Bulgarian families during the 80s and 90s. This phenomenon is noticed even in some regions with usually higher natality, like Kurdjali, Pazardjik, Blagoevgrad, etc.The aim of this study was to characterize the reproductive behaviour of Turkish minority in Bulgaria.260 women in reproductive age with Turkish ethnical origin from the town of Kurdjali (Bulgaria) were approached by a direct individual inquiry. Data were analysed by descriptive statistics and non-parametric tests.The average number of children in the Turkish families in Bulgaria is 1.69 +/- 0.04 and in 78.2% of cases, the pregnancy has been wanted and approved by both spouses. This fact determines the reproduction of this ethnos to be a realized necessity. The comparison of indices, characterizing the reproductive behaviour of Turkish and Bulgarian population shows a statistically significant difference between the real and desired number of children in the family (P < 0.001). However, the analysis failed to find a statistically significant difference in the opinion of both compared groups about the ideal number of children in the family (P > 0.05).There are no changes in the traditional conceptions of Turkish people about the family and role of women. We observe significant differences in the reproductive plan and behaviour between the Bulgarian and Turkish population.

Since the 1960s Germany has seen the arrival of a considerable number of immigrants, mainly from Turkey. The Turkish language, the religion of the Turkish people and other Turkish groups manifest themselves in their naming traditions. The Turkish history, culture and language (also of other groups who speak a Turkish language) is unknown in Germany. The present paper is the beginning of a project of a Turkish dictionary with Turkish names.

Reviewing the Turkish state’s engagement with the Kurdish question since 2015, I argue that while the Turkish state tackled with the Kurdish question mainly through ethnopolitics, it now tackles with it mainly through geopolitics. Documenting the Turkish state’s recent engagement with the Kurdish question by means of such new instruments as non-temporary control over non-Turkish territories populated or neighboured by Kurds, replacing the functions of the states of Syria and Iraq on their Kurdish (and Arab) populated territories, and utilizing space and population engineering to contain non-Turkish citizen Kurds, I argue that the Turkish state’s preoccupation with the Kurdish question since 2015 is prevailed by geopolitics.

ABSTRACT The Turkish population in Canada is quite small (about 10,000) and is concentrated in the Toronto metropolitan area. The Turkish community formed the Federation of Canadian Turkish Associations in 1985 to coordinate member associations and to connect the Turkish community to the Canadian network. The Metropolitan Toronto Reference Library has developed a collection of Turkish materials through purchase and gifts. In addition, it has mounted several displays related to the Turkish collection. The North York Public Library also has a Turkish collection and sponsors Turkish cultural programs.

Population-based breast cancer screening programs were implemented to reduce breast cancer mortality and to improve recovery chances. Breast cancer screening participation among migrant women differs from that of autochthonous populations in several European countries. Here we investigate for the first time participation among women of Turkish origin in Germany. Data of five screening units covering 2010 and 2011 as well as associated population registries were analysed. Women of Turkish origin were identified using a name-based algorithm. Participation ratios among women of Turkish origin and odds ratios compared to women of non-Turkish origin were calculated. Analyses were stratified and adjusted for age-groups and screening unit. A total of 208,500 participants in the five breast screening units were included, out of 423,649 eligible women in the catchment areas (participation 49.2%). Women of Turkish origin have a slightly higher chance to participate in breast cancer screening than women without Turkish origin (OR 1.17; 95% CI: 1.14-1.21). Only women of Turkish origin aged 65–69 years have a lower chance to participate than women without Turkish origin (OR: 0.71; 95% CI: 0.66-0.75). In spite of low participation in preventive measures among migrant populations, the overall breast cancer screening participation among women of Turkish origin in Germany seems to be higher compared to women of non-Turkish origin. Turkish women aged 65 years and above have a lower chance of participation than younger Turkish women. There is need for further research to study factors affecting participation in screening among migrant and non-migrant populations in Germany.

The aim of this paper is to describe ideas that students learning Turkish in Lithuania have about Turkish culture and Turkish people. A descriptive method was used in the research. The data for the research was collected from 15 students who learn Turkish at Vilnius University in Vilnius, Lithuania. For the participating in the research students, “An Emotional Meaning Scale about Turkish Culture and Turkish People” was used. The students were asked to identify positive and negative attributes connected with Turkish culture and Turkish people. The data was grouped according to frequency (f) values and interpreted accordingly. The research revealed that the students evaluate Turkish culture and Turkish people positively and that the positive ideas belong to a high level. Keywords: Teaching Turkish to foreigners, Lithuania, Turkish culture, Turkish people.
