İTALYA VE SURİYELİ MÜLTECİLER: AVRUPA’NIN ZORLU SINAVI

Orta Doğu ve Kuzey Afrika ülkelerinde köklü değişikliklere neden olan ve bu bölgelerin geleceğine şekil veren Arap Baharı, en derin etkisini Suriye üzerinde gösterirken, en ciddi sonuçlar da yine bu ülkede yaşanmıştır. Yüz binlerce insanın ölümüne, milyonlarca insanın ülkelerini terk etmesine neden olan gelişmeler, komşu ülkeleri etkilediği kadar Avrupa ülkelerini de önemli ölçüde etkilemiştir. Bu çerçevede, İtalya Akdeniz üzerinden Avrupa’ya ulaşmaya çalışan birçok Suriyelinin hayatını en fazla kaybettiği ülke olmuştur. Avrupa basınına yansıyan birçok haberde de görüleceği üzere Yunanistan ve İtalya Suriye krizinde Avrupa merkezinde öne çıkan iki ülkedir. İtalya bir taraftan mülteci karşıtı gösteriler ile Avrupa’nın göç karşıtı yüzü olurken diğer taraftan Yunanistan’dan sonra en çok Suriyeli mültecinin tercih ettiği bir Avrupa devletidir. Bu itibarla Avrupa’daki Suriyeli mülteci sorununu İtalya merkezinde incelemek, Avrupa’nın Suriyeli mültecilere yaklaşımını görmek ve anlamak adına önemlidir. Zira İtalya, Suriyeli mültecilerin hayatları pahasına Avrupa’ya ulaşma çabasında Avrupa’nın insanlık sınavı verdiği kritik bir devlettir. Bu çalışmada İtalya’nın Suriyeli mültecilerin göçünden nasıl etkilendiği ve bu süreci nasıl etkilediği kadar Suriyeli mültecilerin de İtalya’nın kriz yönetiminden nasıl etkilendiği irdelenmektedir.

Italy and Syrian Refugees: Europe’s Formidable Examination

The Arab Spring, which caused radical changes in the Middle East and North African countries and shaped the future of these regions, showed its deepest influence on Syria, and the most serious consequences were also experienced in this country. The developments that caused hundreds of thousands of people to die and millions of people to leave their countries affected European countries as much as they affected neighboring countries. In this framework, Italy has become the country where many Syrians who are trying to reach Europe through the Mediterranean have lost their lives the most. As can be seen in many reports reflected in the European press, Greece and Italy are the two countries that stand out in the European center during the Syrian crisis. Italy is an anti-refugee demonstration on one side and an anti-immigration face of Europe while on the other hand it is a European state preferred by most Syrian refugees after Greece. In this respect, it is important to examine Europe’s Syrian refugee issue in Italy, to see and understand Europe’s approach to Syrian refugees. Because, Italy is a critical state where the European people test the humanity in the struggle of Syrian refugees to reach Europe at the cost of their lives. This study examines how Italy is influenced by the migration of Syrian refugees and how this process affected them, as well as the influence of Syrian refugees on Italy’s crisis management.
