The problem of migration, which is an issue that has never left the agenda of humanity in the historical process, has always been on the agenda in most countries of the world in the 2000s. Individuals leave the places they live collectively for many reasons, with the priority of economic concerns and fear of war. It can be said that migration has become an important problem in Afghanistan as in all countries of the world. Afghanistan is a country where weapons have never stopped because of the invasions, internal conflicts and foreign interventions that have not ceased for more than 40 years since the Soviet invasion in 1979. Afghanistan, besides being a battleground of superpowers, has become a country that is mentioned with terrorism along with social, economic and political instability. Afghanistan, through which the historical Silk Road passes, has become an uninhabitable country due to the increasing violence day by day. Afghanistan, which has been experiencing migration problems for years due to the uneasy and insecure environment in the country, started to send immigrants to all parts of the world, especially to neighboring countries in the 20th century. At first Pakistan and Iran have been preferable as immigration center while Turkey has come to the fore later. People are forced to leave their country due to the effects of economic, terrorism, security problems and internal conflicts. On the other hand, the prosperous living conditions, economic and security opportunities in developed countries make migration to these countries attractive. In this study, the migration problem in Afghanistan will be discussed with its causes and consequences.
