Especially, with the end of the Cold War in the 1990s\u00a0Turkey began to face the challenges of being a country of origin and destination, while\u00a0acting as a transit country for documented and undocumented migration. Although the\u00a0foundations of a migration policy were shaped in Turkey prior to the EU accession process,\u00a0the EU accession process had an important catalyser effect in transforming the migration\u00a0and asylum policies. This paper presents an overall analysis of the changes experienced in\u00a0Turkey since 1999 on the asylum field with a projection of three possible scenarios of\u00a0convergence, cooperation and conflict on Turkey-EU relationship. In that respect, this\u00a0paper aims to map out the important periods that have influenced the transformation of\u00a0the asylum policy in Turkey. While locating the important events and drivers at the global,\u00a0neighbourhood, EU and Turkish levels, this research based on extensive fieldwork\u00a0interviews presents findings of a EU-Turkey relationship that lies between cooperation and\u00a0conflict.<\/p>\n<p>Read the paper <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eliamep.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/FEUTURE_Online_Paper_No._18_Asylum_Policy.pdf\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Migration was a critical policy area for Turkey even before Turkey became an official\u00a0candidate country to the EU in 1999.
