The Turkish Immigration and Passports Office issued a new decision to deactivate travel documents of Palestinian refugees from Syria, the New Turk Post has reported.
The Turkish Immigration Office also stipulated that only passports signed by Palestinian-Authority (PA) will be recognized by authorities.
Unofficial statistics indicate that 8,000 Palestinians from Syria have sought shelter in Turkey, where they have been facing dire socio-economic conditions and denied access to the local labor market.
Turkish embassies continue to prevent Palestinian refugees from Syria from obtaining visas. As a result, hundreds of Palestinians have embarked on life-threatening journeys via illegal immigration roads to reach Turkey, fleeing war-tattered Syria, among other war-stricken zones.
