The civil war that started in Syria in 2011 has
affected not only Syria but the surrounding countries, as well, causing
substantial changes particularly in these countries’ commercial activities. These
changes led to various problems especially in cities bordering Syria and with
regards to the road transport of logistics companies that perform logistics
activities heavily with the Middle East. Despite efforts from authorities to
find solutions for overcoming the challenges, the transport sector’s problems
have yet to be completely solved due to several reasons including international
agreements, increased transport costs, difficulty in adapting into new routes
and changes in the international agreement. In this paper, the problems that
the Syrian Civil War caused in the logistics sector in the city of Hatay, the alternative
routes and issues related to these routes, efforts to find new solutions and
their results are explained
