The world is preparing for a great confrontation.We need to develop a holistic approach to migration and all issues related to migration. In particular, the work to be done on Syrians should be based on Syrians in Turkey, Syria and other countries, and on the opportunities and possibilities of migration rather than its threats. We must have a holistic approach in production, education and security policies. We must include Syrian migrants at the table on issues related to them. We must create consent for repatriation, implement practices that do not offend human dignity, and provide opportunities in housing, work-production and education.The inclusion of migrants in the system in countries such as the UK, the USA and Germany transforms migration from a problem into an advantage, and we must develop policies that will not offend both our people and migrants. We must stay away from practices that violate international law and human rights.
