The Turks in Tunisia also known as Turco-Tunisians and Tunisian Turks (Arabic: أتراك تونس‎ French: Turcs de Tunisie Turkish: Tunus Türkleri) are the ethnic Turks who constitute a minority group in Tunisia. In 1534 with about 10000 Turkish soldiers the Ottoman Empire took control and settled in the region when Tunisia’s inhabitants called for help due to fears that the Spanish would invade the country.
