Because many already knew Arabic and because they were very good merchants, these former Mardin residents quickly adapted to life in Beirut, finding work and setting up their lives there. Though the first Turks who left for Lebanon were originally just going to make money, they started to plan the rest of their lives in Beirut. But the first threat that the Turkish citizens who had moved to Lebanon saw arose from the war between the Arabs and the Israelis. After this came years of frightening clashes based on religious differences. Most of these Turks then migrated to European countries. When the Israeli attack on Lebanon took place in 2006, the longing to return to Turkey began to take root even more in these Turkish immigrants. Many more of them left returning to Turkey. To date more than 20,000 Turkish citizens have fled Lebanon, forced to take refuge in Germany and various other European countries.[2] Cretan Turks in Lebanon See also: Greek Muslims and Cretan Turks There are also about 7,000 Greek Muslims living in Tripoli.[3] The majority of whom are Cretan Turks. Records suggest that the community left Crete between 1866 and 1897, on the outbreak of the last Cretan uprising against the Ottoman empire, which ended the Greco-Turkish War of 1897.[3] Until the Lebanese Civil War, their community was close-knit and entirely endogamous. However many of them left Lebanon during the 15 years of the war.[3] Although eager to maintain their links to Greece, many Greek-speaking Muslims from both Lebanon and Syria have reported being refused visas to Greece by the Greek embassy because of their religious affiliation.[3] Notable people Mostapha Al-turk Dina Al-Sabah Bilal Aziz Ahmad Shukeiri See also History of Lebanon under Ottoman rule Lebanon–Turkey relations Turks in Germany References ^ ORSAM 2010, 13-14. ^ "Turkish migrants grieve for Beirut from exile" (in English).
