Abstract (EN)

The research will explore the relationship of Bangladeshi immigrants and their socio-cultural inclusion in Turkiye. Here the primary research question is 'What roles do Turkiye play as a host country for immigrants?', basically this study will be focusing on the immigrants of Bangladesh. Turkiye and Bangladesh are two Muslim countries; they have had good bilateral relations for a long time. In contemporary times, both of these countries intended to increase cooperation in several sectors, i.e. diplomacy, trade, migration, education, defense etc. From the past decade there has been quite a smooth flow of migration from Bangladesh to Turkiye mostly as students and businessmen. The way Turkiye has embraced them socially and culturally and has provided them a safe ground for exploration that is appreciable. This study will bring out all the sides of how Turkiye is treating Bangladeshi immigrants and how they expect to get treated, what are the negative sides if there is any kind of discrimination and all. Turkiye is providing high quality education and as mostly the immigrants of Bangladesh are students, there is space for inquiry and exploration. This study aims to bring out the socio-cultural aspects, the adaptation process, scope and future of the Bangladeshi immigrants in Turkiye. Not only education, job or career related aspects but also the assimilation and integration process of individuals. Each individual portrays a different set of journeys, some people find it easy to get adapted to a new settlement, some find it really hard to cope with and so on. This study is going to reach corner cases of perspectives such as adaptation with food, language, peoples, popular cultures, norms and festivities as well. The ongoing flow of migration from Bangladesh to Turkiye shows a great number of possibilities for both the countries. Thus, this adaptation process becomes a lot more important stuff right now. The background of this topic is huge because it is going to cover the whole way of life of a certain community, which is going to serve a set of information, encouraging immigrants for settling and investing in Turkiye which can be proved to be a win-win situation for both parties.
