Özet:This study undertakes to evaluate the impact of the Syrian refugee crisis on the living condition of African migrants in Istanbul. In this regard, the study seeks to examine the opportunities and the challenges that the new Turkish immigration regime occasioned by the wake of the Syrian refugee crisis provides for African migrants. The relevance of this study stems from the fact that very little study is available on African migrants and asylum-seekers in Turkey. Indeed, within the context of the Syrian refugee crisis and the new immigration laws and policies generated therein, this study represents one of the first of such an effort. The findings of the study point to the fact that advocacy mechanism which hitherto helped in bringing to fore the plight of African migrants have been shuttered in the shadows of the Syrian crisis. Again, opportunities for access to social services for African migrants have remained virtually the same with access to the labour market becoming more restricted. Similarly, the cost of housing has increased and sparked a shelter challenge for African migrants.
