The more general term ''Adalı'' is sometimes used (meaning "islanders").
The Turkish terms sometimes used for the members of the various organizations can vary depending on different specifications. The unofficial ''Oniki Ada Türkleri'' has been pushed by some for the exact equivalent of the term "Turks of the Dodecanese". Other are societies called ''Rodos Türkleri'' or ''İstanköy Türkleri'' for the two respective islands, or even ''Giritli'' ("Cretans" in Turkish) for some of the population, since some had emigrated to the Dodecanese from [[Crete]] in the process of the adhesion of Crete to Greece or due to cultural similarities with [[Cretan Turks]]. The more general term ''Adalı'' is sometimes used (meaning "islanders").

The Turks of the Dodecanese are a community of 2,000[1] Turkish-speaking people and ethnic Turks living on the Dodecanese islands of Rhodes (Turkish: Rodos) and Kos (Turkish: İstanköy) who were not affected by the 1923 population exchange between Greece and Turkey, since the islands were under the rule of the Kingdom of Italy at the time (from 1912). All inhabitants of the islands became Greek citizens after 1947 when the islands became part of Greece.

As a result of this incorporation into Greece and due to the situation following the Cyprus conflict and the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974 many Muslim Turks left the islands and settled in Turkey.[2] Many of them were deprived of their Greek citizenship and property.[3] Some of those who stayed abandoned the Turkish language and their religion.[4]

The Turks in Kos are partly organized around the Muslim Association of KosKos Müslüman which gives the figure 2,000 for the population they bring together and represent for the Greek island.[5]

Those in Rhodes are organized around the Moslem Association of RhodesRodos Müslümanı, which gives the figure 3,500 for the population they bring together and represent for the island.[6]

The more general term Adalı is sometimes used (meaning "islanders").

The president of their association Mazlum Paizanoglou estimates the number in Rhodes as 2500 and in Kos as 2000. http://arsiv.ntv.com.tr/news/23898.asp
