21. IMMIGRATION IN TURKEY
Throughout history, Turkey has been affected by diverse forms of migratory movements and refugee flows. Traditionally, Turkey has been a country of emigration with large numbers of its citizens migrating to Western Europe, particularly Germany since the 1970s

22. IMMIGRATION IN TURKEY
Since the early 1990s, the country has been positioned on the transit route
for irregular migrants from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Iraq, Iran, and Pakistan.
Turkey remains a destination for human trafficking in the Black Sea region, with
victims usually coming from Moldova, Ukraine, Russian Federation, Kyrgyzstan,
and Uzbekistan.

23. IMMIGRATION IN TURKEY
The country maintains a geographical limitation to its obligations under the 1951 Geneva Convention
on the Status of Refugees in which it grants refugee status only to European
asylum seekers. It has until recently ranked in the top three countries globally for
resettlement of non-European refugees, with the main countries of destination for
resettlement being the United States, Canada, and Australia.

24. IMMIGRATION IN TURKEY
Migration issues in Turkey are shaped by its efforts to become a member
of the European Union (EU), which are creating pressures for an overhaul of
its immigration and asylum policies. This is because the alignment of Turkey’s
migration policy and practice with the EU migration acquis and policies is one
of the conditions for the country’s accession to the EU. An issue of concern in
Europe at present relates to the possible negative consequence of Turkey’s potential
membership in the EU, that is, the probability of a massive wave of migration
from Turkey to EU’s more prosperous members.

26. IMMIGRATION IN TURKEY
According to figures provided by Ankaraoffice of the UNHCR, as of 2005 total of 32,832 people are recorded as having made a valid asylum application in Turkey since 1998. As of 2005, 3900 Iranians and 2200 Iraqis, 400 Somalians and 300 Afghans are still in the country, while an additional 1400 Chechens, who are in a "refugee- like situation", are deemed of concern.
These refugees are spread out to satellite cities with notable populations.
These numbers greatly increased in the following years especially in regards to Afghans and Iraqis. As of January 2010, 25, 580 refugees and asylum seekers remain in the country. Of these, 5090 Iranians, 8940 Iraqis, 3850 Afghans and 2700 "other" (including Somalians, Sri Lankans, Pakistanis, Chinese, Uzbeks, Palestinians and others) are still in the country. with the number expected to rise to 8710 Iranians, 9560 Afghans, 7860 other while the Iraqis are expected to decrease to 7890 by December 2011.
Notable here is that Afghans are expected to make up the largest refugee population in Turkey in the near future.

27. IMMIGRATION IN POLAND
Poland for large part of his story has been a country of emigration
Until the fall of communism and the transformation of Poland, West Germany was a special place for Polish refugees

28. IMMIGRATION IN POLAND
Today the roles are reversed
Poland has become one of the most attractive countries in which to live and make a career.
Nearly six thousand German companies , mostly small and medium-sized enterprises , have moved to Poland. The value of the German investments is estimated at € 22 billion , amount that last year represented 21 percent of all foreign investments in Poland.

30. IMMIGRATION IN SPAIN
Since the mid-'80s Spain was a country of net immigration.
Confronted by this "new phenomenon" Spanish governments that will succeed for all the '90s and early 2000 adopt restrictive immigration policies markedly inspired by those of the countries of northern Europe

31. IMMIGRATION IN SPAIN
In 2004, the new socialist government, compared the severity of the problem and the growing criticism at home and abroad, put in place a comprehensive reform of immigration policies.

32. IMMIGRATION IN SPAIN
A comprehensive assessment of the effects of the crisis on the irregularity is still difficult.
It would seem that at first its effect is to reduce it, mainly because it reduces the flow, but in the medium term could increase it.
A more accurate assessment can be done, when, and if, the economy will recover recovery migratory flows
