Hi, Brian,

For the past 10 years, The Center for Studies on Turkey (Türkiye
Arastirmalar Merkezi Vakfi) has been conducting an annual survey of
Turks living in Germany. One of the survey items is about intentions
to return to Turkey. You might find it useful to look at trends in
this variable and characteristics of respondents who report that they
will return. I have no idea what the Center's policy is in terms of
sharing their data files, but the annual reports from the survey are
in the public domain. Their web site is

Best of luck with your project.

I think that The Turkish Statistics Institute (TürkStat) will have
demographic information (quantity at least) about returnees.

&#8232;I do not know if they have a branch in Ankara but you can request
information online. &#8232;Their web address is:&#8232;
