Azerbaijanis In Turkey

It is hard to determine how many ethnic Azerbaijanis currently reside in Turkey because ethnicity is a rather fluid concept in this country. According to some sources, there are about 800,000 Twelvers, however this figure may differ substantially from the real one. Up to 300,000 of Azeris who reside in Turkey are citizens of Azerbaijan. They currently are the largest ethnic group in the city of Iğdır and second largest ethnic group in Kars.
