This summer, the Governorate of Istanbul announced that the Syrian refugees who are not registered in Istanbul would be sent back. This announcement sparked a heated public debate.

We, the members of GAR Association for Migration Research, have expressed our opinions on various platforms. However, considering that we need to share our evaluation and recommendation on the current situation, we decided to prepare the notes, the first of which can be found below.

Based on their field of expertise, GAR member scholars wrote down their evaluations and recommendations about the Syrian population on subjects such as legal status, civil society, and social cohesion. You can find the first note on the legal aspect of the issue by Dr. Neva Övünç Öztürk in the link below.

We are publicizing the evaluations of our members, hoping that these works can contribute to the constitution of a democratic platform for further discussions.

You can find the evaluations here (in Turkish):
