Özet:

 Crossing borders legally or illegally, seeking for shelter in another land have been an issue of todays world for the last couple of decades. Some specific regions affected more than others. Syrians, especially, as a result of the ongoing war within their borders, are forced to move for the sake of saving their lives. With respect to the religious, cultural, and social ties, it is expected that they would seek refuge into the wealthy Arab countries in the Gulf because of the good economic conditions as well as social and cultural ties. Instead, it is seen that Syrians mostly migrate to Turkey and European countries. Even if it is very complicated to analyse as the process is continuing, the reports, observations, and interviews make it possible to come to some certain point to comprehend the situation. When people are forced to migrate from their own country, it could be said there are two stages of it: 1st move, and 2nd move. In the 1st move, people are seeking security more than anything else. The political approach and legal applications of the government of a country towards migration as well as geographic availability are the first and foremost reasons why people choose to go to certain countries. As soon as life treating conditions are off the table, however, people seek for a place to settle and raise their children in, which can be called the 2nd move. In the second move, people look for security, and more. At this specific moment, social and cultural ties determine what to choose and where to go. In this paper, we are going to demonstrate the reasons behind these preferences by comparing peoples experience both in Turkey and Saudi Arabia. Our data collection method is in-depth interviews with participants face to face and online. We analyse the data with descriptive analysis techniques. As a result of our research, we could say that fundamental rights and freedom are the most important reason. Human rights and feeling free in a country mean more significant than social and cultural ties for Syrian migrants.

 Sınırları yasal ya da yasadışı yollardan geçmek, başka bir ülkeye sığınmak son birkaç on yıldır günümüz dünyasının bir sorunu haline gelmiştir. Bazı bölgeler diğerlerinden daha fazla etkileniyor. Özellikle Suriyeliler, kendi sınırları içinde devam eden savaşın bir sonucu olarak, hayatlarını kurtarmak için yer değiştirmek zorunda kalmaktadır. Dini, kültürel ve sosyal bağlar açısından bakıldığında, ekonomik koşulların iyi olması ve sosyal ve kültürel bağlar nedeniyle Körfezdeki zengin Arap ülkelerine sığınmaları beklenirdi. Bunun yerine Suriyelilerin çoğunlukla Türkiye ve Avrupa ülkelerine göç ettikleri görülmektedir. Süreç devam ettiği için analiz etmek çok karmaşık olsa da raporlar, gözlemler ve görüşmeler durumu anlamak için belli bir noktaya gelmeyi mümkün kılıyor. İnsanlar kendi ülkelerinden göç etmek zorunda kaldıklarında, bunun iki aşaması olduğu söylenebilir: 1. hareket ve 2. hareket. Birinci hamlede insanlar her şeyden çok güvenlik arayışı içindedirler. Bir ülkenin hükümetinin göçe yönelik siyasi yaklaşımı ve yasal uygulamaları ile coğrafi uygunluk, insanların belirli ülkelere gitmeyi seçmelerinin ilk ve en önemli nedenleridir. Ancak yaşam koşulları ortadan kalkar kalkmaz insanlar yerleşecekleri ve çocuklarını büyütecekleri bir yer ararlar ki buna 2. hamle denebilir. İkinci hamlede insanlar güvenlik ve daha fazlasını ararlar. Bu noktada, sosyal ve kültürel bağlar neyin seçileceğini ve nereye gidileceğini belirler. Bu makalede, Türkiye ve Suudi Arabistandaki insanların deneyimlerini karşılaştırarak bu tercihlerin arkasındaki nedenleri ortaya koyacağız. Veri toplama yöntemimiz, katılımcılarla yüz yüze ve çevrimiçi olarak yapılan derinlemesine görüşmelerdir. Verileri betimsel analiz teknikleri ile analiz ediyoruz. Araştırmamızın sonucunda temel hak ve özgürlüklerin en önemli neden olduğunu söyleyebiliriz. İnsan hakları ve bir ülkede özgür hissetmek Suriyeli göçmenler için sosyal ve kültürel bağlardan daha önemlidir.
