Since the Syrian regime’s violent suppression of democratic protests, millions of people were forced to leave their homes and search for shelter in neighboring countries. Transformation of civil unrest into a civil war with an ever-increasing violence fueled the rise of radical Islamist groups, which in turn deepened the humanitarian crisis in Syria. As a result of this crisis, according to UNHCR data, approximately 4.1 million refugees have fled from Syria to neighboring countries Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey. On the fourth anniversary of the crisis, 25 protection centres reside approximately 265.000 out of 1.673.000 registered Syrians in Turkey. Upon this background, this research aims to analyze Syrian conundrum with an intersectionalist perspective, i.e. considering multiple identity constructions based on age, gender, ethnicity, on Turkey’s international migration regime. It investigates the way Turkey responds to this international crisis that has been allegedly the largest migration flow of refugees in the 21st century. The framing of refugee defined by laws, regulations and resultant discourses of policy makers are of decisive importance as they are shaping the main contours of policies on how to ‘deal’ with them. A re-reading of those documents and a critical analysis of discourses by focusing on the interaction of multiple identities would enable researchers to reveal how the framing of refugee limits to expose various refugee experiences. Being critical on the analyses end up on reducing the refugee to a matter of ‘homogenized’ victim and/or threat, this research traces Turkey’s “open door policy”, established for Syrians, with a need to recognize refugees’ intersectional identities. In this framework, this research tries to substantiate that an intersectionalist engagement with refugee law and discourses would reveal the limits of normativity on refugee regime and enable readers to capture multifaceted dynamics within.
