Summary/Abstract: The study "Identitarian references of turkish and turkish-tatar communites in Dobruja" analyses, on the one hand, the crystallisation of the ethno-linguistic, cultural and confessional identity of the Turks and Turkish-Tatars seated in this corner of the Romanian country for centuries, and on the other, highlights their way of life based on respect and understanding, tolerance and social peace with Romanians and other ethnic groups. Of all the ethnic groups found throughout the existence of Dobruja on its territory, the Turks and Tatars are noticed as the ones who managed not only to maintain, but also to constantly develop their ethno-linguistic, cultural and confessional identities, thus imprinting a true "touch of color", morality and culturality within the existence of the Romanian people.
