Abstract:

After the 2011 Civil War in Syria, one of the great humanitarian crises of today's world has been experienced. This crisis has not only affected the people of Syria, it has become a country that has been more affected than the war with the mass migration stream in Turkey, a border neighborhood. As a result of this humanitarian crisis, Turkey has opened its borders to the Syrian people by declaring its "open door policy". According to official sources, from 2019 there are more than 3.5 million Syrians in Turkey. The failure to end the civil war that has lasted for eight years has encouraged this number to grow and reduce the hope of returning migrants to integrate into society and seek citizenship. In this study, the opinions on the status of citizenship of the Syrians in the status of temporary protection were analyzed in the framework of the concepts of temporary/permanentity, hospitality and citizenship. This study was conducted as a result of interviews with 30 Syrians under temporary protection, creating a quality research model.
