Meskhetian/Ah Ska Turks in the Us and Their Academic Achievement

Think about a nation that was deported several times including from their homeland. Meskhetian/Ahska Turks were not told where they would be sent from Georgia which is their homeland, they could not find a chance to pack. They were loaded into a freight car and the journey took 18 days. Many of them died because of typhoid. They were faced dicrimination in Uzbekistan and a pogrom broke out. The result was another disappointment for Ahska Turks; approximately 17.000 people deported to the Russia by the Soviet Army. Life did not change for Ahska Turks in Krasnodar/Russia, discrimination, lack of nationality, and violonce had opened them another door:USA. Around 9000 Ahska Turks were resettled in over 30 states. After 60 years, they finaly find a place which could be called as home. Think about a nation that deported several times and try to think about their success in American schools. The purpose of this work was to learn how successful were Ahska Turks in American schools and how their culture affects.
