In response, there has recently been political rhetoric and the public trend towards the forced return of foreigners. This article investigates whether Turkey can send back the asylum-seekers to their countries within the context of the non-refoulement principle. I argue that, since Turkey is a party to the 1951 Refugee Convention, and adopted the principle in its domestic law, it cannot be able to send back asylum-seekers to their home countries.}, number={1}, publisher={İnsan Hak ve Hürriyetleri ve İnsani Yardım Vakfı}
