I did some googling and wiki Sweden gave me this information:

Turks in Sweden is usually defined as persons in Sweden with Turkish as their mother tongue. During the 1950s - and '60s, many Turks came to Sweden through labor .
Kurds , Assyrians / Syriacs , Armenians and other ethnic groups from Turkey has also in many cases included in the statistics of Turks in Sweden, even if they are not ethnic Turks, as the Migration Board in Sweden senses people by country of origin rather than ethnicity. [2]
There are various reasons quite difficult to give exact figures on how many ethnic Turks from Turkey that may exist in Sweden. One can, however, according to Turkish clubs membership figures and other government sources estimate that there may be about 15 000 ethnic Turks in Sweden. The figure includes the ethnic Turks from both Turkey and the Balkan countries.
There are also Turks from Bulgaria , Macedonia , Kosovo and Northern Cyprus . Most residents of SkÃ¥ne.
