「テュルク・ムスリムの国」トルコへの 適応過程における「経由地」極東の役割

抄録

A considerable number of Tatar migrants, who migrated to the Far East in the 1920’s, eventually settled in Turkey. They immigrated as a result of a series of unfavorable events, as foreigners amid the aftermath of the Second World War. While some migrants found difficulties in adapting to Turkish society despite its similarity in terms of ethnicity, language and religion; Azat, a second generation Tatar migrant born in Tokyo, adjusted himself to the new environment. His interview revealed that his diverse experiences in Tokyo played a critical role in preparing him for the immigration process to Turkey in the 1950’s. An important aspect of adapting to the contrasting society includes the development of his technical skills, language and actual recognition of the Turkish economic and social circumstances.
