History

Background

The reason for the resettlement of Ingush to the Ottoman Turkey was mainly due to shortage of land. The land plots of the lowlanders of Ingush okrug were much larger than those of the mountaineers, but they were also insufficient for the subsistence level as noted by Commission on personal and land rights of the natives of the Terek region in 1865. Regarding the size of the allotment per household of Nazranians, the Commission stated that "is in no way considered satisfactory by the commission."[3]

After the Caucasian War in 1865, some of the Ingush resettled (completed so called muhacirdom) to the Ottoman Empire.[4] In total, 1454 Ingush families were evicted from Ingushetia, out of which 1366 were from the Orstkhoy society and 88 families from the Nazranian society.[5][6] As a result of this resettlement, the Karabulak uchastok of the Ingush okrug was liquidated as its previous inhabitants left and the uchastok became deserted.[7]

Later, Ingush also settled to Turkey in the following years: in 1877–1878, 1886–1887, 1892, 1895, 1900, 1902, 1904 and 1912.[8]

Modern

In Turkey, the Ingush are mostly settled in the cities of Ankara, Areliya, Bursa, İzmir, Kayseri, Konya, Kiziltepe, Mardin, Mersin, Muş, Sivas, Istanbul, Golcuk and Yalova.[8]

In Turkey, Ingush were recorded under the ethnonym Circassians.[9][10]
