A report issued by Turkey's Ministry of Labor and Social Security
states that the country processes nearly 10,000 work permits
annually. However, the widely held opinion is taht there are still
some 500,000 foreigners working illegally.
Turkish law enforcement arrests nearly 60,000 illegal workers each
year in Turkey. The majority of illegal workers come to Turkey from
the Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Iraq, Iran, Bulgaria, China, Romania and
Armenia. The exact number of Armenian immigrants in Turkey is unknown.
On Wednesday, Minister of Labor Omer Dincer stated that, "When
unemployment is one of the main problems in Turkey and when the same
job can be done by a person in Turkey, it would be injustice for our
citizens to allow foreigners to work in those jobs."
It is reported that Minister Dincer was referring to the large number
of Turkish companies requesting work permits for their Chinese workers.
