History

Very few Turks lived in Poland in the interwar period according to the 1921 Polish census, including three in Lwów, two in Warsaw and one each in Chełm and Grodno.[2][3][4][5]

Demographics

There is little coherent statistical data regarding their numbers. The majority of these Turks live in Warsaw and Łódź but there are also Turkish communities in Gdańsk, Poznań, Kraków, and Wrocław, and students in cities like Lublin or Krosno.[6][7]

Many Turks in Poland are entrepreneurs and investors.[6]
