Muhajir (Turkey) - Romania

Romania

Immigration from Romania dates back to the early 1800s when the Russian armies made advances in the region. During the Ottoman period, the greatest waves of immigration took place in 1826 when approximately 200,000 people arrived in Turkey and then in 1878-1880 with 90,000 arrivals. Following the Republican period, an agreement made on September 4, 1936, between Romania and Turkey, allowed 70,000 Romanian Turks to leave the Dobrudja region for Turkey.
