- Abstract
Comprehensive Islamization process and resettlement policies were implemented under the Ottoman rule in the Balkans. Consequently, Turkish and Muslim nations emerged and developed in the Balkans under the Ottoman rule. After the 1789 French Revolution, nationalism developed and expanded in the Balkan countries. Nationalist governments and movements in the Balkan countries have struggled to create their homogenous nation states and homogenous nations since the 19th century. For this purpose, they implemented a very harsh and ruthless "de- Ottomanization" policy in their countries. Even more, the nationalist governments/states forced the Turks and Muslims to migrate and implemented ethnic cleansing in order to create a homogenous nation in their countries. Therefore, the Balkan Turkish and Muslim nations have struggled for survival against aggressive nationalism since the 19th century. In this article, respectively the Islamization process, the Turkish-Islamic culture, de-Ottomanization policy, forced migrations and ethnic cleansing in the Balkan countries are critically analyzed.
