Despite reminders from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) that the pandemic is testing governments’ commitment to refugees, Cevdet Acu, a researcher at the University of Exeter, worries that Turkey is not doing enough to rise to this challenge.
“If someone is saying this [we are all in this together, they are ignoring the inequality among the societies, among people,” Acu told Turkey Abroad in a recent podcast. “So based on this reality, we can see that particularly poor people, vulnerable people, in this society are more affected than others. Refugees are one of the more vulnerable groups.”
