Summary/Abstract: The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region comprising 21 countries has been through crises and drastic political changes since 2010 along with having had a protracted history of armed conflict. These crises, including civil wars and international military interventions, have caused disruption in terms of the demographic structure and processes (see Yucesahin and Sirkeci, 2017). Turkey has not only become one of the largest immigration countries mainly because of conflicts in the MENA region, but also has been one of the largest labour exporting countries to these countries.
