Turkey’s Humanitarian Open-Door Policy

2011 CE · Türkiye · migration

Following the civil war that began in Syria in 2011, millions of people left their country, and Turkey became one of the countries that opened its borders to a large number of Syrians.

Turkey applied a temporary protection regime for the asylum seekers; it established accommodation centers and provided humanitarian aid. Within the scope of this policy, Turkey became one of the countries hosting the largest number of refugees in the world. The open-door approach has been extensively debated in public, in both its humanitarian and its social and economic dimensions.
