(Zaman Al Wasl- Eqtsad)- It is not the first time for the Syrian young man Ayham to lsoe his jon in Gaziantep, but it is the hardest, because it has coincided with the end of the year time, when most companies and business firms sammarise their annual account and finalise their financial records, therefore employing a new worker almost impossible.
Ayham worked in a Turkish sewing workshop in the industrial city of Gaziantep where he worked in packaging. He was satisfied with the salary he got although it was little, but according to him, little thing is better than nothing. But he was surprise when the workshop’s owner dismissed him and other three workers even without any notice.
When he sought help from some Syrian people to find a job, he discovered that joblessness and lack of job opportunity was widespread among Syrian in Gaziantep, and he was not the only one looking for a job.
Mohamed Dada, another Syrian young man used to work in a car-wash workshop in Gunay Kent” in Gaziantep, but the boss fired him claiming that no job is longer available.
Mohamed feel sad because his family in Northern countryside of Aleppo depends on the money he used to send to them, but now the source of support has stopped, which exaggerate his worries.
Analysts point out that the coming year may be tougher on Syrian workers in Turkey, due to the weakness of the Turkish economic index performance in recent times, caused by the instability of the region in general, and strained Turkish-Russian relations in particular.
Professor Bassam Najjar, export manager in Turkish company specialised in the production of materials involved in creating traffic tunnels, he mentioned the opinion of the company’s manager in the matter saying: “The economic downturn at the moment is new and unexpected on the Turkish economy , which is unprecedented.”
On the other hand, Najjar refused to generalise the cases of Syrian workers who were fired of work, explaining that business in general and companies have seasonal Industrial circle and everyone is aware of the size of the recession that happens in winter.
The increasing span of the phenomenon where Syrian workers lose their jobs and lack of employment opportunities in Turkey highlights questions about their future in Turkey, which draw attention to an urgent need to find a legal framework to organise it.
