Abstract:

260 Syrian asylum seekers fleeing the conflict, arrived in Turkey as a group on 29 April 2011 to Hatay Yayladağı border because of the civil war that took place after the demonstrations against the regime that began in 2011. By providing temporary protection within the framework of the open-door policy and the principle of non-refoulement, Turkey has accepted the entrance of Syrian asylum seekers. In the period from 2011 until today the number of Syrian asylum seekers living in Turkey reached approximately 4,000,000 people. According to official authorities, the amount of money spent on Syrian Refugees up to now is more than $ 30 billion. This amount has reached a significant proportion of Turkey's Gross National Product. Turkey is in the first place in the world as GDP ratios in terms of assistance to migrants. With the extraordinary sacrifices put forward by the citizens of the Republic of Turkey, to a great extent, it has been successfully managed without encountering very serious problems in a way that is unlike any other in the world. As a result of this intense migratory incident, it seems impossible not to have social, cultural and economic effects of  Syrian asylum seekers who settled in each region in Turkey. In this study, the effects of the Syrian asylum seekers on the Turkish Economy were obtained by analyzing the data acquired from the research. Thus, with this research it has been found out, in which sectors and in what size the Syrian asylum seekers are in the Turkish Economy
