History
Romanians have migrated to the modern-day territory of Turkey since the Ottoman times, whene they were taken as
Wallachian ruler Constantin Brâncoveanu, which even today is an important center of the local Romanian community.[4]
After
Dobrujan Turks started to emigrate to modern-day Turkey
.
During the
Romanian revolution, a significant number of Romanian entrepreneurs started investing and establishing business ventures in Turkey, and a certain proportion chose to take up residence there (especially in Istanbul). There are also Romanian migrant workers, as well as students and artists living in Turkey.[5][6]
During this period, many Romanians intermarried and assimilated with locals, bringing a rapid increase in mixed marriages.
