Özet:

International migration, an important human reflection of globalization, has a profound impact on the political, economic and social life of societies. In this regard, the migration, which is the head of the important agenda of the states and international organizations, has gained a "unlawful / irregular" dimension by the influence of the strict protective approaches of the target countries. The priority of these immigration movements is the European Union countries because of the high level of well-being they have. Thus, protecting against international migration movements that extend the scope by the influence of globalization has become an important priority for the EU countries. Therefore, from the point of view of irregular immigrants to the EU, Turkey, which is seen as a "transit country" due to its geographical position, is characterized by a very important station on the way to the European target. In this regard, Turkey has become a key country in terms of EU border security, and this feature has been the center of EU-Turkey relations. This study will address the fight against transit migration despite the importance and insufficient possibilities that Turkey carries in terms of irregular migration to the EU. However, this struggle will emphasize the value of the progress in the recent period from the point of view of the EU and its contribution to the EU-Turkey relations.
