      Since 2006 it is about migration to and from Germany is about equal. A lot of Turks moved back to Turkey as the economy grew and well with a German pension Turkey is a great place to live, especially when you speak the langauge and have family there.

      Other then that the Turkey has natural population growth and Syrians and other migrants moving to Turkey.

      Turkey has brain drain. The educated people are moving away. Those are usually the ones with smaller families.
