Turkey processes asylum claims through its Directorate General of Migration Management, but holding a Red Notice complicates applications significantly. Turkish authorities may detain asylum seekers subject to Red Notices while processing their claims, and asylum status does not automatically preclude extradition. However, refugee recognition or subsidiary protection can constitute grounds to refuse extradition if surrender would violate non-refoulement obligations. Coordinating asylum and extradition defence simultaneously is essential, as adverse findings in one proceeding can undermine the other.
