Introduction and Historical Context<\/h2>\n

Employment in T\u00fcrkiye for foreigners of Turkic origin has always been regulated by special legislation, reflecting Ankara\u2019s historical and cultural ties with the Turkic world. Until recently, the key legal document was Law No. 2527<\/strong> \u201cOn the free exercise of professions and arts, and on employment in public or private institutions or workplaces by foreigners of Turkic origin in T\u00fcrkiye,\u201d adopted back in 1981.<\/p>\n

This law, introduced during the Cold War era, aimed to facilitate the integration and employment of Turkic minorities living outside T\u00fcrkiye by granting them significant advantages compared to other foreigners. In practice, it allowed them to work without a separate work permit\u2014an important incentive for repatriation and professional mobility.<\/p>\n

However, geopolitical changes and rising migration flows, especially from Central Asia and other regions, created the need to revise this outdated law. Against the backdrop of the growing influence of the Organization of Turkic States (OTS)<\/em> and T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s \u201csoft power\u201d policy, a need arose to define more clearly who exactly can benefit from these privileges, in order to prevent abuse and avoid excessive competition in the domestic labor market.<\/p>\n

The key amendments regulating the employment of persons of Turkic origin entered into force with publication in the Official Gazette (Resm\u00ee Gazete)<\/strong> on 10 October 2025.<\/p>\n
