Meskhetian Turks are Turkic speaking people that follow Islam and originate, allegedly, from the territory of historic Meskhetia (Georgia). They had to re-settle two times: at first in 1944 when the Soviet authorities moved them from native lands to Central Asia, and the second time it happened in the 1990s when they fled Uzbekistan due to ethnic clashes.
They mostly settled in Prychornomoria, Tavria, Slobozhanshchyna, and Bessarabia. Ukrainian Meskhetian Turks cherish their traditions and abide religious holidays such as Eid al-Adha.
