“…Historically, the Turkish state recognized only non-Muslim minorities (Armenians, Greeks, and Jews), while all the others were subjected to assimilation efforts under the umbrella of Turkishness, which carried both national/civic and ethnic connotations.

The proclamation of the Turkish Republic in 1923 was accompanied by a strong nationalist sentiment based on the glorification of Turkishness (Grigoriadis, 2009; Ünlü, 2016). Eventually, an assimilative superordinate identity (i.e., Turkish national identity 2 ) became considered a common civic identity, although it was essentially a hegemonic ethnic category under which formally recognized and nonrecognized minoritized identities were expected to assimilate (Aslan, 2007; Bilali, 2014).…”
