Acknowledgements
Several people and institutions helped me finish this book. The vast collection of sources at Bilkent University Library made this study feasible in the first place. I am thankful to all my interviewees in both Pakistan and Turkey, who spared their time to speak with me on this sensitive subject. I am grateful to Pakistani brothers in Islamabad, Karachi, and Lahore for making me feel home and arranging contacts for my interviews. I am grateful to İnsan Hak ve Hürriyetleri İnsani Yardım Vakfı (İHH) and Yurtdışı Türkler ve Akraba Topluluklar Başkanlığı (YTB) for giving me chance to visit Pakistan twice and conduct my dissertation fieldwork. I am grateful to TÜBİTAK, without which graduate scholarship program, this project would have been impossible to carry out in the first place. I would like to thank Dr. Jeremy Salt, my former supervisor, Dr. Ioannis Grigoriadis, my final Ph.D. supervisor, and committee members for their encouragement, feedback, support, and guidance throughout the process.
