Abstract

This chapter tells the story of Ali Dede, a 50-year-old Syrian refugee who is a former architect and who had to sell his home and business because of the outbreak of war. The circumstances of his flight to Turkey were both acute and anticipatory. Because of his familiarity with the Turkish language and since he had connections in his new country of origin, he has been able to help many of his friends who followed in his footsteps. His business is in the fabric and textile trade.
