According to the Turkish Statistical Institute (TurkStat) Internal Migration Statistics for 2022, Istanbul has become both the most migrant and the most migrant province. Dr. Kemal Olçar, lecturer at the Department of Political Science and Public Administration at Beykent University, Istanbul, who did his doctoral thesis on 'Analysis of the problems occurring in the regions of Turkey with high migration in the context of security', said: "Istanbul is now a push city. People who want to get rid of the density in urban centres or because the cost of living in urban centres has risen too high, have started to return to rural areas. People do not want to leave their employment opportunities, but they also do not want to lose their lives. Therefore, a migration movement within the city will definitely take place."
