Yabancı Kimlik Belgeleri ve Türkiye: Türkiye Büyük Millet Meclisi’nden Pespektifler

Abstract

Kimlik belgeleme, göçmenlerin insan onuruna yakışır bir şekilde birçok hakka erişimini sağlayan bir stratejidir ve bu süreç, jeostratejik konumuna bağlı olarak bir ülkenin siyasi kültüründen güçlü bir şekilde etkilenmektedir. Türkiye örneğinde, Türkiye'nin ev sahibi, transit ve göç veren bir ülke olarak göç pozisyonundaki geniş dalgalanma, göçmenlere yönelik kimlik belirleme pratiklerinin şekillendirilmeye çalışılmasına neden olmaktadır. Bu çalışma, ana akım siyasetin üretildiği Türkiye Büyük Millet Meclisi'nde göçmen kimliği konusunun milletvekilleri tarafından hangi bağlamlarda ele alındığını incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu nedenle, Jäger tarafından kavramsallaştırılan Söylemsel ve Dispozitif Analiz Yaklaşımı kullanılarak, 2011-2025 yılları arasında Türkiye Büyük Millet Meclisi'nde yabancı kimlik belgelerine ilişkin verilen yazılı soru önergelerinin betimsel bir söylem analizi yapılmıştır. Çalışmanın temel sonuçlarından biri, göçmen kimlik belgelerinin güvenlik, hukuk, ekonomi, insan hakları ve operasyonel perspektiflerden ele alındığı, göçmen kimlik kartlarının göçmenlerin sosyal ve gündelik hayatlarından ziyade bürokratik, hukuki ve idari süreçlere odaklandığı ve göçmen kimlik kartlarına ilişkin tartışmaların çok katmanlı bir yapıya sahip olduğudur.

Foreign Identity Documentation and Turkiye: Perspectives from the Turkish Grand National Assembly

Abstract

Identity documentation is a strategy that enables migrants to access many rights in a manner befitting human dignity, and this process is strongly influenced by the political culture of a country, depending on its geostrategic position. In the case of Turkiye, due to its migratory position as a host, transit, and sending country, wide fluctuation in the migration position causes an effort to shape the identification practices for migrants. This study aims to examine the contexts in which the issue of migrant identification is addressed by politicians in the Grand National Assembly of Turkiye, where mainstream politics is produced. For this reason, a descriptive discourse analysis of the written parliamentary questions submitted on migrant identity documents between 2011 and 2025 in the Turkish Grand National Assembly was applied using the Discursive and Dispositive Analysis Approach conceptualized by Jäger. One of the main conclusions of the study is that foreign identity documents are addressed from security, legal, economic, human rights, and operational perspectives, that migrant identity cards focus more on bureaucratic, legal, and administrative processes rather than the social and daily lives of migrants, and that the discussions on migrant identity cards have a multi-layered structure.
