Taşköprü is a neighbourhood (Turkish: mahalle) in the Düzce District of Düzce Province in Turkey.[1] Its population is 740 (2022).[2] The village has a significant Circassian population, and was officially called Çerkez Taşköprü until 2023 when it was demoted from village (Turkish: köy) status, during which the ethnonym Çerkez was removed. This caused controversy among the Circassian community who are currently campaigning to reverse these changes.[3]
