Or celle-ci, loin de fermer sa frontière, se singularise par sa politique de porte ouverte et son engagement humanitaire de grande ampleur. L’élan de générosité ne peut seul expliquer cette politique d’asile mise en place spécialement pour les Syriens. Un certain nombre de considérations politiques indiquent une instrumentalisation de la question. L’attitude bienveillante de la Turquie peut s’expliquer par son opposition à Assad dans la crise syrienne et son souhait de jouer un rôle dans la construction d’une future Syrie, ainsi que par sa volonté de tirer des bénéfices matériels et symboliques auprès de l’Union européenne. Mais la crise de réfugiés a aussi une dimension de politique intérieure. Les différents partis (au pouvoir ou dans l’opposition) semblent utiliser la question des réfugiés de façon opportuniste, aux dépens d’un climat propice à une bonne intégration des Syriens en Turquie.
While the issue of Syrian refugees has led an increasing number of countries to work on curbing arrivals, one country, Turkey, hosts almost half of these refugees. Yet, far from imposing restrictions, Turkey has distinguished itself for its open border policy and large-scale humanitarian contribution. Turkey’s generosity alone is not sufficient to understand this asylum policy put in place specifically for Syrians. There are indeed a number of political factors that indicate a certain level of instrumentalisation of this issue. In particular, Turkey’s benevolent attitude can be explained by Turkey’s early opposition to Assad in the Syrian conflict and its wish to play a role in the post-conflict reconstruction of Syria, as well as by its willingness to extract material and symbolic benefits from the European Union. But the refugee crisis also matters at the level of domestic politics, where different political parties (in power or in the opposition) seem to have used the refugee issue opportunistically, at the expense of a climate favorable to Syrians’ healthy integration in Turkey.

It was after the collapse of the USSR, when these refugees were able to revisit their countries of origin, that they gradually started to reclaim their national identities as Uzbeks and Uighurs.For purposes of social integration, a large majority amongst these refugees had given up typically Central Asian mystical Islamic traditions and converted to Saudi official wahhabism or salafism. Since Uzbek independence in 1991 and China's opening in the 1980s, these recently converted returning Central Asian refugees and their descendants contributed to the reislamization of their countrymen. Some initiatives were personal while others were through more organized channels. Saudi religious authorities recruited and mobilized Uzbek and Uighur community members as missionaries sent to the field to proselytize in Central Asia and to encourage increasing numbers of pilgrims to Mecca.

However, when Central Asian post-Soviet republics became independent in 1991, they renewed all kinds of links with the Indian subcontinent. Moreover, the revival of Central Asian Islam benefited from inspirational international Islamic sources from Turkey, the Arab countries and India. The latter drew less attention from analysts than other sources of influence, although it has gained ground all over the region in past years, particularly in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, where the India-based Jama'at al Tabligh has achieved significant success. This Islamic organization, established in British India in the 1920s, defines itself as a non-radical and non-political movement, promoting ‘basic’ Islamic faith and practice. So far, the Jama'at al Tabligh has been tolerated by local authorities who would rather use them as a shield against the more radical Islamic groups that are openly opposing the regime.

Le GRAC a pour objet d’étude les cinq républiques d’Asie centrale (Kazakhstan, Kirghizstan, Ouzbékistan, Turkménistan, Tadjikistan) mais également leurs relations avec les territoires voisins (Russie, Turquie, Caucase, Iran, Afghanistan, Asie du Sud, Chine, Mongolie).
