[edit] 7000? / Should we mention Fatsa?

Hello, I found this newspaper website here; ^[1]

I remember hearing about the majority of Turkish people in Japan being originally from Fatsa, so I put these keywords in Google, and that's what I got.

So about the 7000 thing, I know that official number is more reliable, but maybe the diffrence due to the illegal immigration can be mentioned.

Same goes for the Fatsa thing I guess. I was hesitant to add it for this reason Kerem Özcan 09:44, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

This article (which I have written) is based on the Tatar/Kazak ethnic Turks, who moved to Japan and later got Turkish citizenship too. They are Japanese/Turkish citizens of Turkish descent. I also watched a documentary about Turks from Fatsa. You are right about mentioning Fatsa, but we should put in a section named "Illegal Immigrants from Turkey" and include a subsection on Fatsa there. I don't think only Fatsa people are going there illegally. In each case, we should mention the illegal side of the immigration, the movement of men only, marriage to Japanese, etc. I don't have time to write the section, but if you do have time and will to write it, I could review it some time. Good suggestion by the way. --Scientia Potentia 09:50, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
