Major waves of Asian immigration began due to political turmoil in various Asian countries. This notably began in the 1970s, when about 40,000 immigrants from Turkey came to the country. From 1985 to 1995, almost 40,000 Iranians immigrated to Sweden after the Iranian Revolution, and during this same time, about 15,000 Lebanese immigrants came to Sweden due to conflict in their homeland.[4]
By 2003, Sweden had about 16,000 people from Syria. Since the 1990s, Iraqis have been one of the largest Asian immigrant groups, with almost 70,000 people.[4] In 2009, about 388,037 people in Sweden were born in an Asian country.[6]
