I was an editor to this popular documentary about the Turkish Economy
Istanbul: Unofficial people smuggling capital
The article discusses the plight of young Turkish citizens attempting to cross into the EU through Serbia due to economic hardships in Turkey. Omer and his cousin Onur, facing unemployment and financial struggles, embarked on a journey to Paris, financed by selling family gold. The economic crisis in Turkey, marked by a significant devaluation of the lira and high inflation, has led to a sense of hopelessness among the youth. The number of Turkish asylum seekers in Europe has surged, with Germany reporting a 200% increase from the previous year. Professor Ahmet Erdi Ozturk of London Metropolitan University attributes the exodus to economic distress and the autocratic policies of Erdogan. The EU's reluctance to issue visas has made Serbia a hotspot for illegal crossings, and the EU has called on Balkan countries to tighten visa policies. The article also mentions the EU's concern over migrants exploiting relaxed visa conditions in the Balkans.
