The migration pressure to Europe in 2015 led to the breakdown of the Common European Asylum System (CEAS) as more than one million people applied for asylum to Europe. While trying to cope with the "crisis", some member states asserted that first entry or secondary movement of asylum seekers' constitute a burden on themselves. The European Commission (EC), therefore called for greater responsibility-sharing across European Union member states, especially on the redistribution of refugees, as a response. This happened only one year after the "crisis", when the EC declared a reform process in CEAS including Dublin revision and solidarity enforcement throughout the member states. This article studies the reform process and solidarity efforts from the concepts migration- security nexus. Scope and meaning of solidarity concept in terms of CEAS in line with different arguments of member states will be revealed in order to analyse the primary concerns of the European Union on setting out its asylum policy.

This happened only one year after the "crisis", when the EC declared a reform process in CEAS including Dublin revision and solidarity enforcement throughout the member states. This article studies the reform process, including New Pact of 2020 and solidarity efforts from migration- security nexus while asking the question of whether the EU would be successful to become a more secure "fortress". Scope and meaning of solidarity concept in terms of CEAS in line with different arguments of member states will be revealed in order to analyse the primary concerns of the European Union on setting out its asylum policy.
