Summary/Abstract: In Turkey, based on Geneva Convention in 1951 and Geneva Protocol in 1967, only those who come from European countries can be accepted as “refugees” by the government due to a geographical limitation. However, because of the increase in number of refugees in 1990s, a 1994 regulation revised the national law which was adopted in 1961.
