Migration and religion: Example of Bursa Bulgarian immigrants

In this study titled "Migration and Religion (The Case of Bursa Bulgarian Immigrants"), the religious attitudes and cultural relations brought by individuals and societies who had to migrate from their permanent homelands due to religious beliefs and cultural reasons, as a result of communication and interaction with the societies in the new settlement areas. In particular, "the impact of migration on religion - religiosity" is discussed as a process. In this regard, while Bulgarian Turks continued to live in Bulgaria, they were subjected to forced migration to our country as a result of wars, agreements and the oppressive and exclusionary policies of the Bulgarian state. At the end of this process, our compatriots who were exposed to the harsh assimilation policy, migrated in order to protect their religious beliefs and their own culture, how they were welcomed in terms of religious life in Turkey, which has the same ancestry and religious beliefs, and what differences and problems they faced in terms of religious beliefs and attitudes compared to the lands they came from. We tried to determine what they encountered through surveys and interviews. Key Words: Immigration, Religion, Immigrant, Interaction, Change.
