POLITICAL AND SOCIAL REACTIONS TO THE SYRIAN REFUGEES CRISIS: THE CASE OF TURKIYE

Abstract

In this study that will address Turkey's migration policy, we will discuss how Turkey can use its rich migration experiences to create a sustainable policy, focusing especially on Syrian refugees. Turkey has faced migration and refugee crises before and has significant experience in this field. Creating a sustainable migration policy using these experiences has the potential for Turkey to become an exemplary country in terms of solving similar crises. In this context, while drawing the general framework of a new and sustainable migration policy, the political and social reactions and reflexes regarding Syrian refugees will be taken into consideration, and the practical applicability of our suggestions will be discussed. From the sources examined during the study process, it was determined that Syrian refugees face significant education and adaptation problems in Turkey. These problems include factors such as language barriers, social adaptation difficulties and not being able to benefit from educational opportunities sufficiently. It has been determined that Syrian refugees have difficulties in adapting, integrating and adapting to a new environment in the context of social cohesion in Turkey. One of the most fundamental factors affecting the adaptation process of Syrian refugees in Turkey is the cultural and religious similarities between the Syrian and Turkish people. In addition, it has been determined that they experience economic and security problems.
