Turks in Denmark

[3] The majority of Danish Turks descend from the Republic of Turkey; however, there has also been significant Turkish migration from other post-Ottoman countries including ethnic Turkish communities which have come to Denmark from the Balkans (e.g. from Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, North Macedonia), the island of Cyprus, and more recently Iraq and Syria.

In 2008, a report published by the Danish Broadcasting Corporation stated that there was 70,000 people of Turkish origin who were Muslims.

[2] Within the home environment, the mother tongue is most dominant and children are expected to speak Turkish.

[7] The Diyanet supports mosque associations in Denmark and controls the majority of the religious organisations used by the community.

[8] The Diyanet's major competing Islamic networks are the Millî Görüş as well as the Alevi association.
