Reception Policies, Practices & Responses: TURKEY Country Report

Prof. Ayhan Kaya | Bilgi University

This country report includes a detailed analysis of reception policies, practices and humanitarian responses from state actors and non-state agencies in Turkey. Data on policies were retrieved through desk research on policy papers and documents at national and sub-national levels, building on the international and EU framework. The analysis of secondary data includes the elaboration of maps of reception policies, practices and humanitarian responses and new typologies of these policies, practices and responses.

The report also includes the analysis of migrants’ perceptions, actions and reactions to reception policies and practices in Turkey.
