Summary/Abstract: From 1945 onwards Macedonian Turks have established many Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in order to preserve their culture and mother tounge as well as to transfer them to the next generations. However this research work primarily will be focussed on those NGOs which are registered by the umbrella organisation of the so-called MATÜSİTEB. These organisations have been analysed by focussing on their role in teaching Turkish language in the post-independence era. Those NGOs which do not registered as a member in the MATÜSİTEB, has been included to this research work so far as they contributed to teach Turkish language. Although the number of Turkish NGOs in the 1990s steadily increased, their quality remained however not so high as expected. This article attemptes to offer an answer to the question how far do contribute the Turkish NGOs to preserve Turkish culture and to give an impulse to teaching of Turkish language.
