Ela Nur, lives in Turkey
Yes, but their numbers are not too much. Most were born in Turkey and Turkish citizens, they accept themselves as Turkish. Many do not know their roots. (I mean which country they came from).

Some were born in another country and subsequently received Turkish citizenship. Some are the result of hybrid marriages :)
