According to the 2021 census, nearly 40 thousand of people from Turkish and Turkish Tatar origins live in Romania. Romanian legislation provides certain rights to national minorities to enjoy and preserve their language, religion, culture and ethnicity, as well as to receive an education in their mother tongue. Our Turkish and Turkish Tatar kinsmen living in Romania are among the 18 officially recognized minority groups and benefit from their constitutional rights through the Unions they established. Romania's positive approach towards our kinsmen sets an example for some other countries in the region.

Our kinsmen enjoy the right to have a representative in Chamber of Deputies of Romania. The Turkish minority is organized under the umbrella of the Romanian Democratic Turkish Union (RDTB) and the Turkish Tatar minority is organized under the umbrella of the Democratic Union of Turkish-Muslim Tatars of Romania (RMTTDB).
