In the span of less than a decade, Turkey has become host to the largest refugee population in the world (UNHCR Mid-Year Trends, 2020). Currently, there are close to 3.7 million Syrians under temporary protection (SuTP) status with another 320,000 individuals under international protection (Republic of Turkey Ministry of Interior, 2021) (UNHCR Turkey Operational Update, 2021). Additionally, Turkey over the last few years has apprehended a growing number of irregular migrants, who are not accounted for by traditional durable solutions through local integration, resettlement, and repatriation.[1] In the meantime, refugees in Turkey, especially Syrians, are by default becoming increasingly self-settled and self-integrated. The process is multifaceted, complex, and mostly driven through the acquisition of Turkish language skills, interaction with local community members, sending their children to Turkish schools, inter-marriages, and employment.
