Compared to 32 in Germany, 54 percent of Turks view legal immigration as an issue

"There is general recognition that the government [hükümet] has done a commendable job in providing protection and humanitarian assistance to the refugees [mülteci] in the camps. However, the situation for those refugees [mülteci] outside the camps is more complicated.”
