Editing Ottoman Turks (section)

=== Definition of a Turk ===
Not all Ottoman Empire citizens were Muslims and not all Ottoman Muslims were [[Turkish people|Turks]], but starting from 1924, every citizen of the newly found Turkish Republic became considered as "Turk". Article 88 of [[Turkish Constitution of 1924|1924 Constitution]], which was based on the [[Turkish Constitution of 1921|1921 Constitution]], states that the name Turk, as a political term, shall be understood to include all citizens of the Turkish Republic, without distinction of, or reference to race or religion.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.anayasa.gov.tr/index.php?l=template&id=20&lang=0|title=Turkish Constitution of 1924|language=Turkish|website=T.C.
