1.Background

Currently, over 3.5 million Syrians under temporary protection and over 350.000 international protection applicants and statute holders from different countries live in Turkey. This large group, which is seeking international protection in Turkey with various legal statutes, may face different legal problems in daily life. These people can be a party to legal disputes from decisions such as refoulement, which can directly affect one’s right to life; to divorce, domestic violence and work-place accidents. It is important that these people, majority of whom are facing economic difficulties, are supported in access to justice.

ln this respect, the attorney fees, litigation expenses, notary expenses, including for issuance of power of attorney, translation and interpretation, as well as the lawyers' transportation costs to visit their clients will be covered and the automation system will be operated in order to enable financial transactions to the lawyers and to cover the expenses of the above outlined items.
