Özet
The Crimean War served as the beginning of a series of tragedies for Nogay Turks. The Nogays, who were on the side of the Ottomans during the war, were forced by the Russian Czar to leave their lands once the war was over. They therefore sought refuge in Ottoman land and were sent to live in the Ottoman states around the Balkans, Anatolia, and Syria. One of the cities chosen for Nogay settlement was Adana because it was less populated and was a fertile region for agriculture. Between the years 1859-1861, 20511 Nogays settled in Adana. While some of these were made to settle altogether along River Ceyhan, others were scattered and made to join a variety of small villages around Adana. Those who settled altogether managed to retain their identities, whereas those who were scattered adopted the way of life of the villages they joined. Just like the nomadic Turkmens, the Nogays, who had been used to leading lives on the Kipchak plains free from state authority, initially experienced difficulties adapting to life under Ottoman law. In a short time, however, they started making the contributions expected of them by the Ottoman State.
