The 2023 update of the report draws on desk research and information collected from civil society organisations, academia, and legal practitioners from cities across Türkiye. Access to official information on the situation of persons under international or temporary protection in Türkiye remains limited to date. The details of the stakeholders consulted remain anonymous in the report due to the possibility of receiving confidential or sensitive information during the interviews with the stakeholders who closely work with the refugee population, including the most vulnerable groups.

The information in this report is up-to-date as of 31 December 2023, unless otherwise stated.
