The Research Question of Turkic Foreigners in Turkiye's Immigration Legislation in Terms of International Immigration Law

Development summary

Metin Kişlik’s article, published on 30 September 2024, addresses the place of the concept of Turkic origin in Türkiye’s migration legislation through the lens of international migration law and the European Union acquis. The text states that the concept has long featured in Republican-era settlement, migration and population policies, and that it continued in the Foreigners and International Protection Law No. 6458 adopted in 2013 and the related regulations, while attracting criticism as an elite immigration policy favouring a privileged group under international migration law.
