Will Turkey's Currency Crisis Send Refugees to Europe?
Turkey's economy is crumbling fast and the value of its currency has plummeted; observers are now wondering if the country can support its multitudes of refugees.
As Turkey’s economy collapses and the value of its currency spirals to record lows, some observers are wondering whether the country will still be able to afford to house millions of refugees.
Over 3.5 million refugees now live in Turkey after having escaped the brutal conflict that has continued for over seven years in neighboring Syria. At the same time, there are at least half a million refugees from other parts of the Middle East and Northern Africa also living in the transcontinental country.
Many of these migrants settled. Priority would be given to migrants who had never tried to enter the EU before.
