Addressing the Issue of Migration Together with the Concept of Diaspora
In a Focus Plus interview, Recep Seyyar assessed Türkiye's migration issue with striking observations.
19.03.2026

A reality that began with the descent of Adam and Eve from paradise to earth and will continue until the end of time: migration. The phenomenon of migration, which has persisted in different forms throughout human history, continues to be one of Türkiye's most important agenda items today.

The migration issue, for which solutions have been sought in Türkiye for the past 15 years, directly affects many areas, from demographic structure to economic balances, and from social integration to public policy. So what do the data say? How are political actors managing this process?

Migration and Diaspora Foundation Chairman Recep Seyyar made striking assessments about the migration issue on the program in which he took part. Seyyar addressed, from a comprehensive perspective, why Syrian cardiologists prefer Germany, why second-generation migrants born and raised in Türkiye are still defined as "asylum seekers," and the opportunities Türkiye has missed in this process.

Drawing attention to the fact that migration is not merely a security or social policy issue but also a matter of strategic human resources and future vision, Seyyar emphasized that Türkiye needs to reconsider its policies in this area.
