Macedonians in Istanbul

Synopsis

Macedonians in Istanbul is about the citizens of Istanbul who are the
fifth generation born in the city. As foreign workers, their ancestors from
Macedonia moved to Istanbul in the 19th or early 20 century. Christian
Orthodox by religion, they observe their festivals and holidays at several
sacred buildings which are still being used in the city for that purpose.
The members of this colony, mainly from the Aegean part of Macedonia,
belong to a small community of rare, genuine, long-standing citizens of
the former metropolis of the Ottoman Empire.
