BEING IMMIGRANT AND THE UNDERSTANDING OF SENSE OF BELONGING AND ETHNIC IDENTITY: THE EXAMPLE OF AHISKA TURKS
Öz: Throughout history, people have migrated from their homes for many reasons. Today,migration and immigration debates concern how, in general, perceptions of identity andbelonging are transformed into multicultural societies where, depending on social interactionprocesses, individuals can reproduce their identity and sense of belonging. However,such rebuilding processes are not the same for every subculture in mainstream society.Problems migrants experienced in other societies, special links shared with the homeland,and memories shared with other group members generally determine identity and sense ofbelonging. Additionally, with development of mass media and transportation, subcultureshave preserved their ethnic identities and maintained important links with their homelands.In particular, this study researched how Ahiska Turks, who were subject to forced migrationand who returned to their homeland after many years, retain their ethnic identity and senseof belonging to their homeland despite their lives in different societies.

GÖÇMEN OLMANIN ETNİK KİMLİK VE AİDİYET ALGISI ÜZERİNE ETKİSİ: AHISKA TÜRKLERİ ÖRNEĞİ
Öz: İnsanlar tarih boyunca pek çok farklı nedenden dolayı yaşadıkları yerlerden göç etmişlerdir. Günümüzde göç ve göçmenlik tartışmaları ise genel olarak kimlik ve aidiyet algılarının çokkültürlü toplumlarda nasıl ve ne şekilde dönüştüğü üzerinedir. Çokkültürlü toplumlarda sosyal etkileşim süreçlerine bağlı olarak bireyler kimlik ve aidiyet algılarını yeniden inşa edebilmektedirler. Ancak; bu inşa süreçleri her alt kültür grubu için aynı şekilde gerçekleşmemektedir. Alt kültür gruplarının geçmişten getirdiği ana vatanları ile olan bağı, grup içinde diğer üyelerle paylaştıkları anılar, farklı toplumlarda yaşadıkları sorunlara bağlı olarak kimlik ve aidiyet algıları belirlenmektedir. Ayrıca kitle iletişim ve ulaşım araçlarının gelişmesiyle alt kültür grupları göç ettikleri anavatanları ile olan bağın canlı kalmasını sağlamış ve etnik kimliklerini korumuşlardır. Bu çalışma kapsamında anavatanlarından zorunlu olarak göçe tabi tutulan ve yıllar sonra tekrar ana vatanlarına dönen Ahıska Türklerinin farklı toplumlarda yaşamalarına rağmen ana vatanlarına olan aidiyet duygularını ve sahip oldukları etnik kimliklerini nasıl korudukları araştırılmıştır.
