Overview

The legal basis of the 2014 Temporary Protection Regulation (TPR) is Article 91 LFIP. Therefore, technically as a piece of secondary legislation, the provisions and implementation of the TPR must be compliant and consistent with the general normative framework laid down by the LFIP itself.

PMM is designated as the competent agency authorised to decide on the eligibility of persons for temporary protection in Türkiye in light of the scope laid down by the Presidency declaration decision and the general eligibility criteria laid down in the TPR.[1]
