Turks in Denmark, also referred to as Turkish Danes or Danish Turks (Danish: Tyrkere i Danmark; Turkish: Danimarka Türkleri) refers to ethnic Turkish people living in Denmark. They currently form the largest ethnic minority group in the country; thus, the Turks are the second-largest ethnic group in Denmark, after the ethnic Danish people.[3] The majority of Danish Turks descend from the Republic of Turkey; however, there has also been significant Turkish migration from other post-Ottoman countries including ethnic Turkish communities which have come to Denmark from the Balkans (e.g. from Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, North Macedonia), the island of Cyprus, and more recently Iraq and Syria.
