Abstract
The Syrian war has caused a major refugee influx into the neighboring countries. Turkey, having the most number of refugees, carries most of the burden. This paper answers the question of: Does the current international law of refugees require Turkey to violate some of its most fundamental duties to its own citizens and/or the refugees?” It concludes that International Law is very vague as it allows Europe to refuse the refugees and allows Turkey to host them without full protection. As a result, the Turkish state fails its duties toward its citizens as well as Syrians.
