In pr<strong>in</strong>ciple, shar<strong>in</strong>g any potential asylum burden should aim at reach<strong>in</strong>g durable and<br />

rights-based protection to all refugees regardless <strong>of</strong> their country <strong>of</strong> orig<strong>in</strong> or ethnic background.<br />

Otherwise burden–shar<strong>in</strong>g could emerge as a discrim<strong>in</strong>ative practice <strong>of</strong> “wip<strong>in</strong>g out” the “fake<br />

refugees”, i.e. the potential terrorists etc. Approached as such burden shar<strong>in</strong>g stands up as<br />

another possible source <strong>of</strong> <strong>in</strong>security for Turkey and the region. The divergence and<br />

<strong>in</strong>consistence <strong>in</strong> the construction <strong>of</strong> this notion with<strong>in</strong> the EU itself opens the way for its erosion<br />

as an opportunity for construct<strong>in</strong>g a safer environment <strong>in</strong> the EU.<br />
