CEVAP:

According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), there are currently about 7.5 million internally displaced persons while over four million people have sought asylum in neighboring countries: Turkey, Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan and Iraq. Among these countries, Turkey is reported to host the largest number of Syrian refugees – almost three million people as of May 2017.

While states have taken big steps to liberalize the flows of capital, goods and services, they have been reluctant to recognize a similar degree of liberalization for migration. They want to control who can and cannot enter and exit their territories and their political communities. Most of the destination countries favor highly skilled, educated migrants or people with capital while they tend to restrict the entry of lower-skilled workers, asylumseekers, and refugees.
