What is your particular interest in the project?

"My research area is analyzing the migration corridor between European Countries and Turkey in the context of development studies. Nowadays, the corridor began to change in terms of pattern. At the beginning of forming the corridor, the debates were based on voluntary migration. Due to the political and economic conditions of neighboring countries, forced migration have become the main research topic and a transformation in migration pattern of Turkey have been perceived. ForMOVe provides me a better understanding of a complex and entwined relationship between the factors of forced migration and understanding of the migration corridor between European countries and Turkey."
