Abstract

Turkey became a party to the Turkey-European Union Readmission Agreement as a result of it had been laid down a condition during Europeon Union membership negotiations and also based on visa liberalisation incentive. According to the Turkey-European Union Readmission Agreement the parties are under obligation to readmit their citizens, third country nationals and stateless persons went to other contracting party from their country, who are qualified as irregular migrants. As a result of the Turkey-European Union Summit dated 18 March 2016 a statement was issued by the parties that contain their agreements on certain matters with the aim of combatting irregular migration. However, there are some problematic areas with regard to Turkey-European Union Readmission Agreement and the statement of 18 March 2016. The first problematic area is whether Turkey is qualifed as safe third country according to the European Union refugee regulations and within this framework whether the irregular migrants who made a refugee aplication could be returned to Turkey based on inadmissable application under Turkey-European Union Readmission Agreement and the statement of 18 March 2016. The second problematic area is the legal character of the statement of 18 March 2016, whether it is qualified as an international treaty.
