When Socialist Yugoslavia was declared by Marshall Tito in 1945, The communists were able to deal with national aspirations by creating a federation of six nominally equal republics - Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia, Slovenia, BosniaHerzegovina, and Macedonia. In Serbia the two provinces of Kosovo and Vojvodina were given autonomous status. Communist rule restored stability and good relations with the west ensured a steady stream of loans. Later, however, national and ethnic tensions increased due to unequal development and a growing burden of debt. When Tito died in 1980 many expected the federation to break up but Yugoslavia was to survive for another ten years. After Tito's death, ethnic nationalism began to rise again in Yugoslavia, especially in Kosovo between ethnic Albanians and Serbs. This, coupled with economic problems in Yugoslavia. Nowadays Yugoslavian Muslims/Turks Who live in former Yugoslavia region have to face with a lot of problems (ethnic discrimination, economic etc). Though not stating an ethnic Turkishness, the name of this nation is Turkish nation. Not speaking Turkish as a mother tongue and not having a Turkish ethnic origin these people feel themselves more close to Turks rather than the same language speaker Serbians and Bulgarians With this vision, Turks inhabiting in today’s Yugoslavia where the traces of Ottomans’ are found, constitutes our study’s main theme. Turks of Yugoslavia has a long historical past. Today many archeological historical art works belonging to the either Ottoman or pre-Ottoman times, and various land names (though hundreds of them had changed till the second world war) still keep their existence and Turks, carrying on their existence as a minority. In this context in our study we will examine from different viewpoints, the political, cultural, demographical and economical construction of Turks and the status in former Yugoslavia region till today from especially a period of Tito’s Yugoslavia up with its historical background
