^ a: Government immigration figures on the number of Turks in the US are not fully reliable because a considerable number of Turks were born in the Balkans, Cyprus, and other areas of the former Ottoman Empire. Furthermore, there has been more recent Turkish migration waves of Meskhetian Turks from the former USSR.[2] |
