Coming to Terms with Forced Migration: Post-Displacement Restitution of Citizenship Rights in Turkey

  • During the armed conflict in the Eastern and Southeastern Anatolian regions of Turkey between 1984 and 1999, a large wave of internal displacement took place. In the mid-1990s, national human rights organizations prepared reports to bring to public attention that hundreds of thousands of people had been evicted from their rural homes. However, at that time the displacement did not attract the attention that it deserved from the media and public opinion in Turkey. Most importantly, public institutions did not take any measures to address the problems of internally displaced persons (“IDPs”).Based on an analysis of secondary sources and qualitative fieldwork, this book assesses this phenomenon within a conceptual framework at both national and international levels as well as within the political and socio-economic circumstances specific to Turkey.
