The policy is based on a new official report issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in February 2025.
The current policy is maintained, and a new mention is included that LGBTIQ+ applicants cannot obtain protection form authorities, unless it is apparent from the file that this is possible.
The following risico groups remain in place: persons active in politics, journalism and human rights; (perceived) Gulen supporters; HDP members and activists: as the party changed its name to DEM, this is now adjusted in the new policy.
The general policy remains in place for denial of military service and desertion. Conscripted Kurds are in principle not assumed to have a well-founded fear of being used in a conflict against their own people or family. In addition, it is stated that there are adequate reception conditions in the country for unaccompanied foreign minors.
