This info-pack examines the status of Syrian nationals under Temporary Protection in Turkey a decade after the outbreak of the Syrian Civil War.

April 29th, 2011 marks the day the first Syrian men, women, and children fled their war-torn home to seek refuge across their northern border. A decade later, 3.6 million Syrian nationals — the largest number in the world — live in Turkey. This info-pack examines the status of Syrian nationals under Temporary Protection in Turkey (SuTP) a decade after the outbreak of the Syrian Civil War. It will outline the successes spearheaded by Turkey and facilitated by the United Nations, European Union, and other agencies. The info-pack will also address the greatest challenges SuTP face and how Turkey and its allies may best address these obstacles in the context of an uncertain future.
