Özet:

In the Social Scientific Summer on Gay-Muslims, important studies have been conducted to discuss the homogeneous national identity, which has been attempted to be created in a geography where many ethnic minorities live, and to question the official history thesis for the first time; thus, the inter-cultural dialogue has begun to discuss the prejudices towards different identities. On the other hand, academic studies focused on this topic mostly dealt with these non-Muslim communities as homogeneous, non-conflict groups; they have tried to understand the discrimination that these groups are exposed. Today, the non-Muslim minorities, which are increasingly decreasing in their numbers, will be closely studied to see that they have social-economic/cultural, gender differences that lead to differences within themselves, which often prevent them from acting as social integrations. The Antakya Orthodox groups among non-Muslim communities are one of the less studied groups in literature; especially in this field, the studies that address them in their daily lives are not enough to disappear. The main reason we choose the Orthodox migrants from Antakya and the surrounding area to Istanbul as the subject of study is that the work on this group is on a micro-level and the existence of the group on the Istanbul city scale has not yet been sufficiently problematized. This study, through profound interviews, problematizes the ways in which Antakya Orthodox people living in Istanbul recognize their own identities.
