THE READMISSION AGREEMENT BETWEEN EU AND TURKEY: THE VISA LIBERALISATION DIALOGUE KNOT

Öz:
Readmission Agreements are important, functional instruments ofinternational cooperation among states in the area of expulsion and deportationof irregular migrants back to origin or transit countries. Among the variousaspects on combating irregular immigration, removal of irregular migrants whoespecially apprehended while illegally entering into or exiting from the country,who are undocumented, who violated or breached the law has become a toppriority to many states for some reasons such as protecting public order or publicsecurity or public health as well as for being a deterrent factor. The EuropeanUnion, resorting to the asymmetrical interdependency has persuaded the originand transit countries including Turkey by using incentives like visa liberalisation.As a result, the European Union-Turkey Readmission Agreement has turned to bea key to Turkish citizens’ travel in Schengen area without any visa requirementprior to the accession as well as being a benchmark on the road to Turkey’smembership. In the end, Turkish citizens have not obtained visa liberalisation yetwhile irregular migration pressure, which is one of the most prominent threats tomany member states, has been alleviated thanks to the readmission agreement.

AVRUPA BİRLİĞİ VE TÜRKİYE ARASINDA GERİ KABUL ANLAŞMASI: VİZE SERBESTİSİ DİYALOĞU DÜĞÜMÜ

Öz:
Geri kabul anlaşmaları, düzensiz göçmenlerin kendi ülkelerine ya da geldikleri üçüncü ülkelere geri gönderilmeleri için ülkeler arası önemli ve işlevsel araçlardır. Düzensiz göçle mücadelede ülkeye izinsiz girerken veya çıkarken yakalanan, belgesiz veya sahte belge kullanarak giriş-çıkış yapan düzensiz göçmenlerin kamu düzeni ve güvenliğini, kamu sağlığını korumak amacıyla geri gönderilmesi caydırıcı bir nitelik taşımaktadır. Avrupa Birliği, asimetrik karşılıklı bağımlılık ilişkisini kullanarak aralarında Türkiye’nin de olduğu menşe ve transit ülkeleri ikna etmek için vize serbestisi gibi teşvikleri kullanmıştır. Sonuçta, Türkiye-Avrupa Birliği Geri Kabul Anlaşması, Türkiye’nin üyeliği yolunda en önemli kıstaslardan biri haline gelirken bir yandan da üyelik öncesinde Türk vatandaşlarının vizesiz olarak Schengen bölgesi ülkelerinde dolaşmasını sağlamanın anahtarı haline gelmiştir. Gelinen noktada Türk vatandaşları vize serbestisine kavuşamazken Avrupa Birliği, geri kabul anlaşması sayesinde, birçok üye devletin hükümetleri için en önemli tehditlerden birisi olan düzensiz göç baskısını hafifletmiştir.
