Abstract :Immigration has gradually become one of the main subjects of high policy debate in Turkey. Such a tendency has manifested itself initially through Turkey- EU relations, where immigration policy making has become one of the key issues of accession talks.

This article aims to uncover the interrelations between immigration policy and Turkish foreign policy and to identify major trends and reorientations in immigration policy makingKeywords : International Migration, Turkish Foreign Policy, Turkey-European Union Relations, Syrian Crisis.
