This thesis analyzes the EU-Turkey Statement in relation to the externalization of migration policy of the EU. The main aim of this study is to evaluate the tools of externalization of migration policy of the EU within the EU-Turkey Statement announced on 18th March 2016. One of the main reasons for the existence of the Statement is the externalization of migration policy of the EU. In this context, this thesis first explains the formation of the externalization of migration policy of the EU and its tools. Later, the formation of the Statement, its elements, implementations and challenges are discussed. Finally, the elements of the Statement are analyzed in their relations with the tools of externalization of migration policy of the EU. As the main argument, this thesis supports that the EU-Turkey Statement is an outcome of the externalization of migration policy of the EU. This is due to the fact that the Statement involves tools of the externalization of migration policy of the EU through elements on the EU accession process, border controls, the principles of the Dublin system, readmission processes and financial assistance.
