Summary/Abstract: Recent UNHCR data show that nearly 3 million Syrian refugees have fled to Turkey,where they are not recognised as refugees. Turkey has, however, adopted a new law to offerSyrians temporary protection, which means a residence permit, access to education, healthcare and employment, but also an opportunity to acquire Turkish citizenship on certainconditions. This text focuses on the current regulations for the protection of Syrian refugees inTurkey, outlining the legal status of refugees and examining the impact of their influx on theTurkish policy towards asylum-seekers from non-European countries.
