Abstract :1951 Geneva Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees provides protection and rights for those who are recognized as refugees under its definition. Alternative forms like temporary protection have emerged, as a short-term strategy to secure the urgent needs of refugees in the event of a mass influx. Indeed, it reveals how states pragmatically ignore the protection regime of the convention. Germany, hosting Europe’s largest refugee population inside the European Union (EU) and Türkiye, hosting world’s largest refugee population beyond the EU has implemented temporary protection status as a keystone asylum policy. In this context, the study brings together the literature on externalization of the EU asylum policy and integration by comparing the evolution of the temporary protection regimes in Germany and Türkiye. To do this, the policy responses of Turkish and German governments to the refugee crisis in Bosnia, Syria and Ukraine are analysed. The research eventually provides an analytical framework to aid policy makers in adapting an accurate asylum policy in both countries as well as in the EU. Consequently, the notion of equal solidarity and human-centric approach should be rethought, when designing asylum policy in both countries as well as in the EU.Keywords : Uluslararası göç, geçici koruma, Türkiye, Almanya, Avrupa Birliği
