Refugee Problem: Is It a Threat on Turkey's National Security?

Sample cases explained in the chapter reveal the security concerns whichTurkey could be facing off in the near future. It is not only because Turkey has borderline with problematic (weak) states. Refugees also come from distant countries, such as Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan andCongo. Our focus, here in this paper, specifically point out the dangers which originated from immigration. We sort out the perils of immigration for host country under three categories; violence/terrorism, smuggling/human trafficking and male/female prostitution. Three of these concerns have potential to affect economic, human, personnel and community security in the country. Turkey, with 26 refugee camps scattered all around, and near 85 percent of immigrants are living outside of these camps –most of them are living under lower standards of life with very low wages- would be facing off problematic situation in the near future. In addition to that it seems a serious problem to integrate some refugee communities into the Turkish culture, language and daily life. In conclusion refugee problem is a problem of mankind not only neighboring countries, effects every other nation in the world, and comprehensive solution has belonged to be humanity.
