There is a small community of Pakistanis in Turkey, consisting mainly of expatriates and students. There are many Pakistani students studying in Turkish university and colleges. There are also large number of long-term and short-term economic migrants from Pakistan in Turkey that have travelled through Iran, who often intend to cross into the European Union. Former Pakistani president Pervez Musharraf notably spent his childhood in Turkey, whose father worked as a diplomat there. Pakistan has a permanent embassy in Ankara and a consulate general in Istanbul, which aim to serve the interests of the community throughout the country.
In 2008, approximately 359 Pakistanis were deported from Turkey back to Pakistan on claims of fake documents to enter Europe.[1]
