Syrian
Refugees in Turkey: The Long Road Ahead
Turkey now hosts
the world’s largest community of Syrians displaced by the ongoing conflict in
their country. According to United Nations estimates, Turkey’s Syrian
refugee population was more than 1.7 million as of mid-March 2015, and the
large unregistered refugee population may mean the true figure is even larger.
Turkish reception policies at the outset were predicated on the assumption that
the conflict would come to a swift conclusion, allowing the displaced Syrians
to return home, but as conditions continue to deteriorate in Syria and the
conflict stretches into its fifth year, it has become clear that a shift in
policy to encompass longer-term solutions is needed.
The Syrian refugee crisis arose as the Turkish government
was in the midst of overhauling its immigration system to meet
international—and, particularly, European Union—standards. The implementation
of these reforms has limited Turkish authorities' capacity to manage the Syrian
inflows, and as a result, management of the crisis was left largely in the
hands of national organizations working on the ground, in camps, without larger
policy guidance. Meanwhile, formal immigration channels, including recognition
of refugee status, remain restricted to Europeans, while non-Europeans receive
temporary protection status and are expected at some point to resettle in a
third country.
This report provides an overview of Turkey’s migration landscape
and the position of Syrian refugees in Turkey today. It also offers an
assessment of current policy approaches toward displaced Syrians in Turkey,
looking at changes in Turkey’s asylum and protection regime before discussing
ongoing challenges and future policy directions in this area. Finally, it
discusses policy recommendations—both for Turkey and for other states—given the
likelihood of long-term or permanent displacement for Syrians.

Seeing those refugees flee their country into Europe. Suddenly I felt very happy that I live in Taiwan. I do not fear that someday I will be control by the bad guys. I also free to do anything. I hope they can treat refugees properly. Take them as the local people.

回覆刪除Many Syrian refugees went to Turkey just wanted to live a good life.But only Turkey to accept them was not enough.And there were some conflicts between refugees and the natives.However,Turkey should change immigration policies.Let refugees have places to live,and they don't have to migrate again.
回覆刪除Many Syrian refugees tried to start a new life in other European countries. But there are many obstacles. Only a few countries to accept refugees like Turkey. I hoping to find a solution as soon as possible.
