ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ
Migration from Cappadocia to Constantinople started in the 15th century as part of Mehmed II's policy to provide inhabitants for the new capital through compulsory population movements; migration, however, followed until the 20th century. The immigrants came mostly from settlements with limited potential for agricultural development. In Constantinople, they were active as foodstuff traders or craftsmen or even in the service sector. |
