Today, Turkish blogger Murad Ershahin published a video on the YuoTube channel, where he asks lawyer Berkin Aryjan about the situation with the refusal to accept documents for obtaining a residence permit from Turkmen migrants with expired passports, but extended by the consulates of Turkmenistan.

According to Berkin Aryjan, «he visited the migration service three times and could not get an answer as to why Turkmen migrants are not issued residence permits. Then, after several days of discussion, the Turkish Migration Service decided to issue residence permits to the above categories of Turkmen migrants from April 3» - the lawyer responded to the blogger.

THF is clarifying the details.

Some observers believe that this decision is the result of coverage of the mentioned problem in the media and on Internet sites.
