Acknowledgments
I am indebted to Gülay Toksöz for her supervision, to Ünal Töngür for his constant help, and to my daughter, Asya, for picking the cover design. I appreciate the generous support of the Presidency for Turks Abroad and Related Communities, Republic of Turkey Prime Ministry on the brain drain survey. However, needless to say that the opinions expressed in this book are my own and do not reflect the view of the institution.
