Refugee Rights Turkey and partner organization Refugee Solidarity Network (RSN) held a one-day workshop in Istanbul on 24 February 2016, bringing together representatives of leading national and international NGOs undertaking refugee advocacy and assistance activities in Turkey.  The workshop brought together representatives of NGOs and INGOs operating in all parts of Turkey and allowed for a lively discussion on various developments in the Turkey asylum context, including the future implications of the new EU-Turkey Agreement in the pipeline and the latest developments in newly established DGMM’s takeover of migration management activities from the National Police, the state body previously in charge of migration affairs. The workshop was also aimed to strengthen the currently limited level of dialogue between national and international NGOs contributing to Turkey’s evolving refugee response with a view to facilitating new synergies and collaborations on common challenges. The event was organized in the framework of the ongoing project implemented by RRT in affiliation with RSN and with supports from the US State Department Population, Refugees and Migration Bureau (PRM).
