Refugees in Romania

The refugees in Romania have been coming in multiple waves throughout its history. Historical waves of refugees include the Armenians who fled the Ottoman Empire due to the Armenian Genocide in 1915, Greeks who fled persecution after the Greek Civil War and during the Greek military junta of 1967–74, Koreans who fled the Korean War and Chileans fleeing the Military dictatorship of Chile (1973–90).[1]

More recently, Romania received refugees from the Middle East, particularly from Iraq following the 2003 invasion of Iraq. During the 2015 European refugee crisis, Romanian society began debating over whether to host or not refugees from Syria.
