Özet:

People have encountered the immigration phenomenon throughout history for economic, political and social reasons. These migrations, on the one hand, offer individuals the opportunity to meet new places, new people and new cultures, and on the other hand, threaten the continuity of cultural and individual identities. This duality, which is at the point of existence by adapting to a new culture or by preserving its existing identity, has led individuals to develop different strategies in the process of intercultural communication. One of these strategies is related to the way individuals use the media in the point of learning, learning and socialization. The use of the media for this purpose has also been the subject of many research on cultural interaction; it has shown that the media is a major place in cultural interaction. The study, which starts from here, aims to reveal the cultural interaction of the Ahıska Turks living in Kyrgyzstan and the relationship between media usage habits and the role of media usage habits in the process of cultural interaction. In the study, a face-to-face meeting with 30 members of the Ahıska Turks Association located in the capital of Kyrgyzstan, Bishkek, was held.  Qualitative research method applied in the study data was collected through a semi-configured interview form. The interview form consists of questions about the participants’ personal information, media usage habits and cultural interactions.
