Syrian migrants in Turkish factories: there but not quite yet

There are currently 2.73 million Syrian migrants living in Turkey, many of whom have valuable skills that could benefit the country's textile and garment industry. And indeed, as soon as the influx began, Syrian migrants (and their children) have been showing up in Turkish factories, not always legally (Turkey being the third most important sourcing country for BSCI participants). Though they are there, hardly anyone has officially employed them and international buyers often have no clue that Syrian migrants are already part of their supply chain.
