AIDA Asylum Information Database Country Report: Turkey
Abstract
The AIDA project is jointly coordinated by the European Council on Refugees and Exiles (ECRE),
Forum Réfugiés-Cosi, Irish Refugee Council and the Hungarian Helsinki Committee. It aims to provide
up-to date information on asylum practice in 16 EU Member States (AT, BE, BG, CY, CR, DE, FR, GR,
HU, IE, IT, MT, NL, PL, SE, UK) and 2 non-EU counties (Switzerland, Turkey) which is easily accessible
to the media, researchers, advocates, legal practitioners and the general public through the dedicated
website www.asylumineurope.org. Furthermore the project seeks to promote the implementation and
transposition of EU asylum legislation reflecting the highest possible standards of protection in line with
international refugee and human rights law and based on best practice.
