Özet
The restrictions imposed by a state on the way of life of a certain ethnic group, and theeducation policy implemented on that group, may prevent the use of the right to education,which is one of the fundamental human rights. This study focuses on the educationalconsequences of the exiling from their homeland of the Ahiska Turks (or Meskhetian Turks)who lived in the Ahiska (Samtskhe) region of Georgia at the time of the Soviet Union, in theyear 1944. This descriptive study adopted the case study design based on qualitative researchtechniques. The data were gathered through a semi-structured interview form given to fourparticipants selected via criterion sampling method from different generations who wereeither sent into exile, were born and grew up in the place of exile, or were born after thebreak-up of the USSR and were attempting to settle in another country. The data wereanalysed using the descriptive data analysis techniques, and the results revealed that theexiled Ahiska Turks suffered losses in terms of education due to their exile and itsconsequences. These losses were categorized in four groups, namely, losses stemming fromleaving the community devoid of intellectuals, losses due to literacy becoming more difficult,losses originating from being forced into agricultural labour, and losses due to exposure toethnic discrimination.
