Abstract
The present article examines the competition of national projects in Turkey at several levels. We analyse the interaction of the dominant Turkish national project, given in dynamics, and the national projects of ethnic minorities – the Crimean Tatars and Circassians. We demonstrate that the Turkish national project can absorb ethnonational ones, changing them to suit itself, or it can enter into direct confrontation with them. Besides, we analyse the variety of national projects, the ideologists of which, competing for an ethnic audience, offer different understandings of the Circassian and Crimean Tatar nation. As a final result we show how both etnic national projects and pseudo- ethnicculturally- based projects simultaneously coexist in Turkey along with the state nationalism.
