Who they are
The Yoruk are a Turkic people of nomadic tradition, historically linked to the herding of sheep and goats between the plains and plateaus of the Balkans and Anatolia region. Living in tents and moving according to the seasons, they maintain a strong identity marked by their language, kinship ties, and a Muslim faith that spans generations.
