context_page_description: Turks in France or French Turks refers to the Turkish people who live in France. Most French Turks either emigrated or descend from Turkey; however, there are also significant Turkish communities which arrived or descend from Algeria, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Tunisia, and other former Ottoman territories.
context_section_description: The Turkish community is considered to be the least integrated immigrant community in France, largely due to their strong attachment to their country of origin. However, there is increasing recognition by Turkish officials that without successful integration the immigrant community cannot lobby for the home country. For example, in 2010, the Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan stressed that assimilation is different from integration and urged the Turkish community in France to integrate by applying for French citizenship.
