Alevism is one of the most important problems of Anatolia that has been waiting for a solution for centuries. Especially since the Republican period, pressures on the Alevism belief have begun to increase. For this reason, some of the Alevis in Turkey had to migrate to different geographies as a result of both the oppression policies and the economic difficulties they faced. Therefore, Alevis have established non-governmental organizations and associations in order to continue their beliefs, traditions, and customs in the places they migrated to. Associations, especially in Europe, have begun to have a serious impact not only on their own members but also on Alevis and Alevism in Turkey. Because the associations in question were trying to increase the awareness and sensitivity of both non-governmental organizations in Europe and the European Union about Alevis. In addition, these Alevi Non-Governmental Organizations were trying to encourage the European Union to protect and expand the rights of Alevis (especially Alevis in Turkey) within the framework of human rights and freedom of belief, and to ensure that it took more initiative in this regard. On the other hand, Turkey's candidacy application for the European Union (EU) was accepted in 1999. Therefore, the EU's influence on Turkey began to increase. By considering the period 1999-2010, the study argues that the political identity of Alevism in Turkey came to the fore more than the faith dimension and that this process accelerated with the influence of the EU. The study examines the transformation of Alevism into a political movement without delving into the debates on Alevism, Shiism, and Sunnism. In this study, qualitative research method was preferred and secondary sources such as books, articles, columns, and conference results written on this subject were used. The study aims to contribute to the literature as it is approached from a different perspective than other Alevism studies.
