Description
Summary:Many people running away from the civil war in Syria, which started in May,2011 and has still been going on chancing its business cycle,have been urged to refuge in the neighbouring countries.Turkey is one of the countries housing these refugees.As a result of this immigration movement starting in April, 2011 Turkey has been the house of more than 2.5 million Syrian refugees since March, 2016. 13-14% of these millions of people stay in the refugee camps settled in 10 main cities and the remaining huge part of them live in various cities dispersedly.The refugee mob mostly consisting of dilutees is a serious economic trouble for Turkey.The expenditure amount commited for Syrian refugees has reached 8 million $ since August, 2016.The economic issues of Turkey,who has been obliged to carry out the the principal of “interiorising the exogeneities” due to its geopolitical position,is scrutinized. By analyzing economic datas year by year via the charts featured by UN, OECD and AFAD it is concluded that the economic cost,undertaken by Turkey, needs to be externalized and shared on the global scale; consequentlty each country should join in the refugee matter in the rate of its own budget and financial planning.
