Anti-Turkism, Turkophobia, Turcophobia or anti-Turkish sentiment is the hostility or racism towards Turkish people, Turkish culture, and Turkey (previously the Ottoman Empire).
Anti-Turkism does not always refer to just the Turks of Turkey, but can also refer to various Turkic peoples and Balkan Muslims. This includes the Turkic peoples living in the Russian Federation, the Turkic states of the former Soviet Union, the autonomous Xinjiang Uyghur region of the People's Republic of China, and even non-Turkic Balkan Muslims, particularly Bosniaks and Macedonian Muslims. It can also refer to racism against ethnic Turks living outside of Turkey in the Turkish diaspora.
