Abstract
TARİHSEL BOYUTTA AVUSTRALYA'DAKİ TÜRK DİASPORASI (1950 – 2004) Avustralya’daki Türk Diasporasının Tarihsel Varlığı (1950-2004) adlı bu çalışmada, Avustralya’daki Türk Toplumu’nun 19. Yüzyılın ikinci yarısından 20. Yüzyılın sonuna kadar olan tarihsel süreci incelenmektedir. 19. Yüzyılın ikinci yarısında ağırlıklı olarak bireysel göçlerle oluşmaya başlayan Avustralya Türk Toplumu, 1950’li yıllara kadar Avustralya coğrafyasında kendini yeterli ölçüde gösterememiştir. 1950’li yıllarda Kıbrıs Türkleri’nin Avustralya’ya göçlerinin başlaması, bu süreci takiben Bulgaristan’dan Batı Trakya’dan ve 5 Ekim 1967 tarihinde Türkiye ile Avustralya arasında imzalanan Türklerin Avustralya’da İkamet ve Çalışmaları Hakkında Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Hükümeti ile Avustralya Milletler Topluluğu Hükümeti Arasında Antlaşma adlı antlaşma ile Türkiye’den Avustralya’ya gerçekleşen göçler Avustralya’daki Türk Diasporası’nı oluşturmaktadır. 1970’li yıllar Avustralya Türk Diasporası’nın her anlamda kurumsallaşmaya başladığı yıllardır. 2000’li yıllara uzanan süreçte okyanus ötesi yurttaşlık kimliği kazanan Avustralya Türk Diasporası, ekonomik, sosyal, dini ve kültürel yönleriyle kurumsallaşmıştır. Bu çalışma, bireysel göçmenlikten okyanus ötesi toplumsal yapıya uzanan Avustralya Türk Diasporası’nın tarihsel süreci ele almamıştır.
AT THE HISTORICAL DIMENSION OF THE TURKISH DIASPORA IN AUSTRALIA (1950-2004) This study titled At The Historical Dimension of the Turkish Diaspora in Australia (1950-2004) examines the history of the Turkish community in Commonwealth of Australia spanning from the second half of the 19th Century until the end of the 20th Century. Beginning to evolve in the second half of the 19th Century mainly through individual migration, the Australian Turkish Community could not have been able to make its presence as a community felt until 1950s. With the beginning of migration of the Cyprus Turks to the Australia in 1950s, and subsequently from Bulgaria and Western Thrace, and enactment of the Bilateral Migration and Settlement Agreement (Agreement Between the Government of The Commonwealth of Australia and Government of The Republic of Turkey Concerning the Resident and Employment of Turkish Citizens in Australia) between the Turkish Republic and the Commonwealth Australia for settlement and employment of the Turkish nationality migrants in Australia on October 5th 1967, the Turkish Diaspora in Australia has been created. The 1970s are the years when the Turkish Diaspora in Australia has become institutionalized in all respects. In the period stretching to 2000 the Australian Turkish Diaspora having gained the identity of trans-oceanic nationality, has become institutionalized in economical, social, religious and cultural aspects. This study attempts to investigate the chronicle of the Australian Turkish Diaspora starting from individual migration to grow into a full community structure.
