Arabs in Turkey (Turkish: Türkiye Arapları; Arabic: عرب تركيا) are about 1.5 or 5 million (including the Syrian refugees)[10][11][12][6] citizens or residents of Turkey who are ethnically of Arab descent. They are the third-largest minority in the country after the Kurds[13][14][15] and the Circassians[16][17][18][19][20] and are concentrated in a few provinces in Southeastern Anatolia. In addition to this native group, millions of Arab Syrian refugees have sought refuge in Turkey since the beginning of the Syrian civil war in 2011.[21]
