Afro Turks
Afro Turks are people of African origin in Turkey. Like the Afro-Abkhazians, they trace their origin back to the African branch of the Ottoman slave trade. ==History==
Beginning several centuries ago, a number of Africans, usually via Zanzibar (as Zanj) and from places such as Niger, Saudi Arabia, Libya, Kenya and Sudan, came to the Ottoman Empire settled by the Dalaman, Menderes and Gediz valleys, Manavgat, and Çukurova. African quarters of 19th-century İzmir, including Sabırtaşı, Dolapkuyu, Tamaşalık, İkiçeşmelik, and Ballıkuyu, are mentioned in contemporary records. Some came from Crete following the population exchange between Greece and Turkey in 1923. They settled on the Aegean coast, mainly around İzmir.〔 Africans in Ayvalık declare that their ancestors from Crete spoke Greek when they came to Turkey and learned Turkish later.〔(Yerleşim Yerleri ve Göç: Balıkesir/Ayvalık, afroturk.org, retrieved 25 January 2009 )〕 Afro-Turks living in İzmir celebrated the traditional spring festival ''Dana Bayramı'' ("Calf Festival") until the 1960s. ''Dana Bayramı'' has currently been revived among the younger generation of Afro-Turks.〔 Ulcinj in Montenegro had its own black community – descendants of the Ottoman slave trade that had flourished there. As a consequence of the slave trade and privateer activity, it is told that 100 black people lived in Ulcinj until 1878. The Ottoman Army counted thousands of Black African soldiers in its ranks. The army sent to Balkans during the Austro-Turkish War of 1716–18 included 24,000 men from Africa.〔Dieudonne Gnammankou, ("African Slave Trade in Russia" ), in Doudou Diene, ''La Chaine et le lien'', Paris: Editions UNESCO, 1998.〕
