Turks in Kyrgyzstan (Turkish: Kırgızistan'daki Türkler) are ethnic Turks who live in Kyrgyzstan.
The majority of Turks were deported from south-western Georgia to Central Asia in 1944, where they were employed largely in the agricultural sector in grain and livestock production. Of the 207,500 Meskhetian Turks registered in the 1989 Soviet census, there were 21,294 Turks in Kyrgyzstan.[4]
