Comparing Diaspora Policies of Turkey and Azerbaijan: “Are Common Diaspora Policies Possible?”
Comparing Diaspora Policies of Turkey and Azerbaijan: “Are Common Diaspora Policies Possible?”
The term diaspora is used to describe social groups that
have migrated from their homeland, and preserved and
maintained their home country’s culture. In the 1990s, with
the acceleration of communication, transportation, and the
ease of displacement, migration movements in the world
increased and modern diasporas developed transnational
relations in their country of residence. Modern diasporas
have attracted sending states’ attention over time and have
led states to develop various policies for institution building,
political participation, lobbying, and civil and social rights.
This article reveals the similarities and differences in Turkey
and Azerbaijan’s diaspora policies from a historical perspective
and examines the kinds of activities and policies these two
states currently have in the context of the Turkish world. The
possibility of the Presidency for Turks Abroad and Related
Communities (Turkey) and the State Committee on Work
with Diaspora (Azerbaijan) developing common diaspora
policies is also discussed. The study’s data is collected using the
document analysis method, which includes a literature review
and an examination of reports from the public institutions
mentioned, in order to discuss the possibility of the two
countries to producing a common diaspora policy.
