FORCED MIGRATION AND ITS EFFECTS DİYARBAKIR The Development Centre is a non-profit working group aiming at conducting research in rural and urban areas where development needs are most urgent, developing projects and realistic and replicable models in the field context and hence generating long-lasting impact on all relevant sections of society. The centre was established in Diyarbakır in October 2004. |
As the metropolitan centre of the region of South-eastern Anatolia, the city of Diyarbakır was one of the focal points where people facing forced migration rushed during the 90s. The population of the province doubled within such a short period of time as 5 years from 1990 to 1995. Great majority of these people are still living together in some neighbourhoods located at the centre and peripheral parts of the city. Children born to these families had their childhood amidst stories of past village life and migration told by their elders, school life in neighbourhood schools, struggle in the streets of Diyarbakır where they worked to support their families as well as in cotton and hazel nut fields where they seasonally moved with their families again for subsistence. It is not possible to say that the life has changed much in these neighbourhoods for the last 15 years. |
