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 second 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 second note on social cohesion by Dr. Doğuş Şimşek 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.
