The Ministry of Interior, through its security forces, takes all kinds of measures regarding the safety of life and property of our citizens within the framework of the laws and legal rules. While implementing such measures, a great importance is given to protect the fundamental rights and freedoms of our citizens. Turkey, due to its geopolitical position, has been struggling with multidimensional and variable security issues. In this context, our country has been struggling with the destructive and separatist terrorist organizations that damage national unity and integrity, peace and trust environment, economic and social development for more than a quarter of a century. Anti-Smuggling and Organized Crime (KOM) Department puts up an effective and strong fight against a wide range of crimes that includes crimes against national security, arms and ammunition smuggling crimes, mafia type organized crimes, usury, all kinds of customs smuggling crimes, corruption, terrorism financing and crime revenues. While performing those, it uses policing techniques within the boundaries of law. They act with an understanding with determination and consistency against those who make perpetration a profession in order to gain financial gain and power, who are ready to try all kinds of ways to provide unfair advantage and organize crime syndicates to that end. Within this scope, all kinds of illegal structures that corrode the social structure have been discouraged; many of the activities aimed at disturbing public order have been prevented by VIII KOM 2017 Report Introduction // successful operations. In the planned operations carried out against the crime organizations, the people and structures that disrupt the social peace have become ineffective and the confidence of our citizens in the government has been reinforced. In our country, a great progress has been made thanks to the role and work of KOM Department in the fight against the terrorist organization FETO, which tries to destroy the environment of peace and security and to poses a serious danger. The terrorist organization FETO has lost a great deal of its power due to our determined stance. However, the struggle against the terrorist organization FETO must continue without hesitation since it is seen that they continue to work to keep the organization alive and to continue their activities. In this context, organizational structure should be deciphered in all aspects, human and financial resources of the organization should be identified and prevented and operational efforts should be continued with determination to prevent restructuring. As result of the devoted and diligent work of its staff, KOM Department increases its reputation day by day thanks to its outstanding achievements in combating organized crime in our country. The fact that some organized crime organizations are related to terrorist organizations and that organized crime is among the most important financial resources of terrorist organizations increases the importance of such struggle. Moreover, it will continue to fight intensively and uninterruptedly to prevent all kinds of smuggling activities that provide finance to terrorist organizations such as cigarettes, fuel oil and commodity smuggling. As in the rest of the world, our struggle against the corruption and economic crimes that cause a negative impact on the bureaucracy and the economic system in our country, which leads to damage to competition, decrease productivity and cause misuse of resources, adversely affects every part of the society, continues with great determination. Thanks to the efforts carried out, substantial material damage to our country has been prevented. However, the importance of bilateral and multilateral international cooperation in the fight against transnational crime is well known. The experience gained by our country in this field is shared with other countries in every possible platform and it takes place in internationally organized activities. Furthermore, studies on “2016-2021 National Strategy Document and Action Plan for Combating Organized Crimes” which is implemented in the field of fight against organized crime and coordinated by our Ministry, continue. I would like to congratulate all the KOM personnel who have contributed to the struggle against the organizations that are engaged in terrorism, organized crime and all kinds of smuggling activities, and wish them continued success. Süleyman SOYLU Minister of Interior KOM 2017 Report IX // Köpek Eğitim Merkezi PREFACE The Department of Anti-Smuggling and Organized Crime (KOM), which fulfils its powers and duties given in 81 provinces with its approximately 6,200 personnel in full compliance with the principles of human rights within the framework of law and justice, is in an effort to perform its tasks more effective by planning, coordinating, observing, following and inspecting the service it renders. With an institutional perspective, KOM Department combats smuggling, financial, organized crimes that play an important role in ensuring the security – a fundamental and indispensable need for humankind – and all kinds of structures that threaten national security. Crime organizations; ignoring the peace and security of the people, it deeply undermines the social and economic interests of the society, shakes up the principles of social justice and the basic principles of law. It is of course our primary duty to ask the account of this large cost that the crime organizations have imposed on the society within the framework of the laws. In addition, the fight against the FETO terrorist organization and mafia type organized crime organizations, which are aiming to set a barrier between the state and nation and try to establish dominance on the citizens by trying to establish their own authority, continues with determination. It is known that FETO terror organization attaches great importance to confidentiality by encouraging members

  • Syrian Refugees in the Turkish Labour Marketpdf
    Syrian Refugees in the Turkish Labour Market Luis Pinedo Caro∗ ILO Office in Turkey February 9, 2020 1 Introduction The succession of revolts that followed the Arab Spring was typically characterized by short-termed demonstrations and/or outbursts of violence in most of the affected countries; all but one: Syria. Since March 2011 until now none of the multiple belligerents fighting in Syria have been able to regain full control of the country, causing, according to UNHCR, more than 5.68 millions1 of registered refugees of which 3.6 millions 2 were welcomed by Turkey under the temporary protection regime.3 For Turkey in particular, this unprecedented situation has not only produced a humanitarian emergency but also has likely affected the lives of millions of Turkish people. In this context, the demand for policy responses is pressing and so does the demand for relevant information. This report aims, precisely, at filling this information gap by providing statistics on Syrians' living and working conditions, on possible internal migration patterns and on the impact of providing refugees with work permits. The use of microdata when informing about the Syrian refugees' crisis has been scarce. Some research has been conducted using macroeconomic data with regards to the Syrians' regional presence. For example Konun & T¨umen(2016) and T¨umen(2016) study the effect of Syrian refugees on the price level of goods, finding that the goods whose production process intensely employs informal workers showcased a decline in their prices. This is explained by Syrian workers replacing Turkish natives in informal jobs at a cheaper rate, passing the lower labour costs onto the goods' prices.

Relations between these two important states have been badly wounded when Nicolas Sarkozy served as President. Sarkozy, who tried to influence the public to win the presidential elections, used foreign policy for this. Sarkozy, who is in promises of Turkey and Turkey-EU relations, has seriously damaged the relations between the two sides. On May 6, 2012, the presidential elections were lost and Sarkozy was left to the candidate of the Socialist Party, François Hollande. With Hollande's election as President, Turkey has waited for both Turkey-France relations and Turkey-EU relations to improve and develop. However, Turkey did not reach its own expected result. Even if Hollande became a member of the Socialist Party, he does not want to Turkey's EU membership a lot. It is seen that the intergovernmental act in the EU is effective and influences the decisions. Keywords: François Hollande, Nicolas Sarkozy, France, Turkey, European Union.

  • Recurring Displacement, Homemaking and Solidarity Amongst Syrian and Palestinian Syrian Refugees in Turkey
    Recurring Displacement, Homemaking and Solidarity amongst Syrian and Palestinian Syrian Refugees in Turkey Nell Gabiam Abstract: This article focusses on Al-Nur, a community centre in Istanbul, Turkey, that caters to Syrian and Palestinian Syrian refugees. It is based on five months of fieldwork conducted in the winter and spring of 2017 in Turkey that included participant observation as a volunteer English teacher at Al-Nur. A focus on the philosophy that guides Al-Nur’s functioning as a community centre as well as on the stories of displacement of some of its managers and volunteers sheds light on the importance of being able to (re)create home in exile. Such a focus also sheds light on how repeated displacement has shaped Palestinian Syrian refugees’ experiences of exile from Syria as well as their interactions with Syrian refugees. Keywords: home, non-governmental organisations, Palestinian Syrian refugees, refugee–refugee solidarity, repeated displacement, Syrian refugees Turkey is currently hosting over 3.5 million refugees from Syria, the vast ma- jority of whom are self-settled in urban areas (UNHCR 2020). Amongst those displaced to Turkey by the conflict in Syria are Palestinian refugees whose presence in Syria can be traced back to the 1948 Arab–Israeli War. This article examines the concurrent exile of Syrian and Palestinian Syrian refugees in Turkey. 1 While it gives an overview of Turkish policy towards the two groups, its main goal is to examine this concurrent exile through the prism of every- day life and especially through the notion of home. The analysis focusses on Al-Nur, a community centre in Istanbul catering to Syrian and Palestinian Syrian refugees.2 Al-Nur was founded in 2014 by Khaled, a second-generation Palestinian refugee from the Yarmouk camp in Syria.
