About Us
Migration Research Foundation
As a global issue, migration movements have been affecting extensive geography, especially the source and destination countries. Thus, the concept of migration becomes a policy determining factor in the international arena with its political, cultural, economic, and social dimensions. Turkey has been a country of emigration to the world’s different regions, including countries in Western Europe since the beginning of the 1950s. Over time, Turkish citizens living in distinct parts of the world have created a diaspora society by creating diverse and permanent spaces with their social relations, political participation, and commercial potentialities.
In this context, the research area of the Migration Research Foundation (GAV), which began its Journey in 2010, is primarily the Turkish community living abroad.
The considered topics of this community are:
– language and cultural accumulation,
– social, cultural, and political issues,
– participation, adaptation, and assimilation policies of the countries they live in.
As a think tank, we aim to research these issues, to develop solutions, to create public opinion, and to inform decision-makers.
However, the Foundation, closely monitoring the problems encountered by the Turkish community who maintains ties with the motherland from public services to social and cultural issues. Besides, aim to produce solutions to eliminate these problems, based on our society abroad experiences to research refugee and migration issues, and to support social inclusion policies in Turkey.
