Armenians are indigenous to the [[Armenian Highlands]] which corresponds to the eastern half of modern-day Turkey, the Republic of Armenia, southern Georgia, western Azerbaijan, and northwestern Iran. Although in 1880 the word ''Armenia'' was banned from being used in the press, schoolbooks, and governmental establishments in Turkey and was subsequently replaced with words like eastern Anatolia or northern Kurdistan, Armenians had maintained much of their culture and heritage.<ref>Modern History of Armenia in the Works of Foreign Authors [Novaya istoriya Armenii v trudax sovremennix zarubezhnix avtorov], edited by R.

{{Main article|Assyrians in Turkey}}
{{Further information|Assyrian genocide}}
[[Assyrian people|Assyrians]] were once a large ethnic minority in the [[Ottoman Empire]], but following the early 20th century [[Assyrian Genocide]], many were murdered, deported, or ended up emigrating. Those that remain live in small numbers in their [[Tur Abdin|indigenous South Eastern Turkey]] (although in larger numbers than other groups murdered in [[Armenian Genocide|Armenian]] or [[Greek genocide]]s) and Istanbul. They number around 30,000.

{{Main article|Bosniaks in Turkey}}
Today, the existence of [[Bosniaks]] in the country is evident everywhere.

Some Bosnian researchers believe that the number of Bosniaks in Turkey is about four million. Turkish politicians are aware of the large number of Bosniaks living in Turkey, and, referencing this in 2010, Turkish Foreign Minister [[Ahmet Davutoğlu]] said: "There are more Bosniaks living in Turkey than in Bosnia."<ref>http://www.todayszaman.com/news-313388-the-impact-of-bosnians-on-the-turkish-stateby-karol-kujawa-.html</ref>

{{Main article|Laz people in Turkey}}
Most Laz people today live in Turkey, but the Laz minority group has no official status in Turkey. Their number today is estimated at 2,250,000.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=DJ_hppqYIxQC&pg=PA90&dq=laz+language&hl=tr&ei=HNBSTvHDI6HP4QSrodHfAg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=2&ved=0CC0Q6AEwATgK#v=onepage&q=laz%20language&f=false The Uses and Abuses of History, Margaret MacMillan] Google Books</ref> The Laz are [[Sunni Muslims]]. Only a minority are bilingual in Turkish and their native [[Laz language]] which belongs to the [[South Caucasian languages|South Caucasian group]]. The number of the Laz speakers is decreasing, and is now limited chiefly to the [[Rize]] and [[Artvin]] areas. The historical term [[Lazistan]] — formerly referring to a narrow tract of land along the [[Black Sea]] inhabited by the Laz as well as by several other ethnic groups — has been banned from official use and replaced with ''Doğu Karadeniz'' (which also includes [[Trabzon]]). During the [[Russo-Turkish War of 1877–1878]], the [[Muslim]] population of Russia near the war zones was subjected to ethnic cleansing; many Lazes living in [[Batumi|Batum]] fled to the Ottoman Empire, settling along the southern Black Sea coast to the east of [[Samsun]].

[[Christianity]] has a long history in Anatolia which, nowadays part of the [[Republic of Turkey]]'s territory, was the birthplace of numerous Christian [[Twelve apostles|Apostles]] and [[Saint]]s, such as [[Apostle Paul]] of [[Tarsus (city)|Tarsus]], [[Saint Timothy|Timothy]], [[St. Nicholas]] of [[Myra]], [[St. Polycarp]] of [[Smyrna]] and many others. Two out of the five centers ([[Patriarchate]]s) of the ancient [[Pentarchy]] were located in present-day Turkey: [[Constantinople]] (Istanbul) and [[Antioch]] ([[Antakya]]). All of the [[first seven Ecumenical Councils]] which are recognized by both the Western and Eastern churches were held in present-day Turkey. Of these, the [[Nicene Creed]], declared with the [[First Council of Nicaea]] ([[İznik]]) in 325, is of utmost importance and has provided the essential definitions of present-day Christianity.
