The concept of diaspora, especially with the effect of the political developments occurred in the 20th century, has become more popular and more common than ever. This wide range of the concept of diaspora, has also affected the studies on diaspora communities. The relations between the host states and diaspora communities have become a topical issue as the relations between the diaspora communities and the homelands. In this study, the Turkish community in Dodecanisos that had been left outside the scope of the Lausanne Treaty and thus stemming from the minority rights and minority status will be searched in relation with the concept of diaspora in terms of the social dynamics. In particular, in the context of the change and transformation of EU s minority policies, contribution of individual rights claims instead of the minority status and its effect to the formation and development of diaspora identity will be discussed.
