ANSWERS FROM AYSE NAZ KUSCU / TURKEY

I think people are forced to immigrate. Because immigration comes from what people need.
2. Of course it is. Especially in our country.
3. People migrate because of so many reasons like climate, war, income, job, education, racism and geographical situations.
4. Yes,we should. Because one day we'll be in this situation,too. And of course as Turkish citizens we are helpful and we can show empathy.
5. First of all, being a racist is not a appropriate thing. When it comes to immigrants it gets worse. Because they are desperate and being a racist to them is just wrong. But in another way they immigrate instead of defending their country. So our citizens complain about it and it seems like they are being racist. They say this and they also help them. This is what we should do. You can complain but you don't have rights to make them upset.
6. It's possible if it starts in European countries. Because they don't want immigrants in their country. So if immigrants migrate to their country Europeans could start a war and it could spread around the world. Because they have power and allies in Europe. So this makes it easier to start a new world war.
7. I wouldn't migrate. I would stay in my country and help everyone as good as I can. I totally understand them. They are afraid losing their families and lifes. Maybe I would do the same. But it comes from our past. Our ancestors stayed in their country and fought. So that is what I would like to do.

 

ANSWERS FROM ECE ERDONMEZ / TURKEY

 

1. I think immigration is a needed activity of those who are in need of a new home to live in. I think people are unnecessarily prejudiced against migrants.

2. I don't think it should be a problem, it is one of the most natural things in this world. But sadly, because of racist/privileged people and their prejudiced thoughts for those who migrate and some immigrants who wish for more than what they deserve, it is a present problem.

3. Today, people migrate for countless reasons. Such as, war, unemployment, education, climate, health, natural disasters and assignments.

4. I think we should host immigrants. It could be used as a political strategy to make our country better, also it is the right thing to do as a human being. However, I think that everyone is equal, no matter their race, ethinicity or religion so immigrants should have the same and equal rights as any other citizen has, not more or less than them.

5. Racism by itself, is one of the worst problems of our world. No matter what, people always have negative thoughts towards someone/something that is different from them. In this case, people are racist because they think the land belongs to them, they think they came first and they think they are better. But they are forgetting the fact that nobody would want to leave their home, their family without a reason. I think that racism towards immigrants exists, it is one of the worst problems, and it should stop.

6. Yes I do. I think racism towards immigrants, priviliged citizens who don't want immigrants, countries that does not allow any immigrants at all could lead to a new world war.

7. I would try my best to adjust with the new country that I live in, and I would try to ignore people who point fingers at me and talk to me like I am lower than what they are, and I would try to work as hard as I can to have a better life that I can control.
