History
Background
The reason for the resettlement of Ingush to the
Ottoman Turkey was mainly due to shortage of land. The land plots of the lowlanders of
Ingush okrug were much larger than those of the mountaineers, but they were also insufficient for the subsistence level as noted by Commission on personal and land rights of the natives of the Terek region in 1865. Regarding the size of the allotment per household of
Nazranians, the Commission stated that "is in no way considered satisfactory by the commission."[3]
After the Caucasian War in 1865, some of the Ingush resettled (completed so called
muhacirdom) to the Ottoman Empire.[4] In total, 1454 Ingush families were evicted from Ingushetia, out of which 1366 were from the
Orstkhoy society and 88 families from the Nazranian society.[5][6] As a result of this resettlement, the
Karabulak uchastok of the
Ingush okrug was liquidated as its previous inhabitants left and the uchastok became deserted.[7]
Later, Ingush also settled to Turkey in the following years: in 1877–1878, 1886–1887, 1892, 1895, 1900, 1902, 1904 and 1912.[8]
