suburb of Ankara, still bears the scars of summer 2021, when local mobs rampaged through the streets, attacking Syrian businesses and homes after the killing of a Turkish teenager by a refugee. Police vehicles patrol the main intersections. Parts of the area feel deserted. In response to the violence, Turkey’s interior ministry decreed that the share of foreigners in some neighbourhoods, starting with Altindag, would be capped at 20% of the population.
Turkey is home to around 15m Kurds, a million Arabs, tens of thousands of Armenian descendants of those spared the genocide of 1915, and a small, dwindling population of Greeks and Jews. But the social and demographic changes the country has undergone because of the war in Syria are unprecedented. At the end of 2010, just before the start of the war, Turkey had only 10,000 refugees and asylum-seekers. Twelve years on, it hosts 3.
Western countries generally praise Turkey for doing a remarkable job for its Syrian refugees. Yet Turks do not want to hear it. Most say the country has become a safe house for foreigners whom Europe does not want to see within its own borders. And many want the refugees to go home. Violence of the kind seen in Altindag remains rare. But as the economy sputters and the election approaches, attitudes to the Syrians have hardened.
Making nice with Syria’s regime could even trigger a fresh exodus. The areas of Syria now under Turkish control are home to some 4m people. Were Turkey to hand them back to Damascus, something Mr Assad will insist on as part of any normalisation agreement, many who fear his tyrannical rule might flee north. A Turkish withdrawal from Idlib province in Syria’s north-west, an opposition stronghold, would surely be followed by a renewed regime offensive, and another refugee wave.
Turkey does not have a bad influence on Syria. Turkey is the only country in the world trying to help the Syrian people and resolve the crisis. But to be honest, if you want to know who is malicious, I suggest you look in the mirror. The answer you will find is your country.
It is about time the security of Europe started at the borders of Greece and Bulgaria... The Turkish governments keep on fooling around with so called allies who inflict major damages to Turkish society. Stop EU accession process and leave unfair bilateral treaties!
You're like French prostitutes selling themselves to the Nazis who killed the French people. You have no character ! You will lose, all your coordinates are clear, one day Bayraktar TB2 will crash on you.
Bullshit! The truth is just opposite: The civilian people in Syria are safe since 🇹🇷 is in region. But your dirty plans are in thrash because 🇹🇷 has made your plans useless. That's why you lie and slander. SLANDERERS ARE THE RATTS OF SOCIETY. IS MEDIA OF RATTS.
A leader who has fought for freedom for 20 years cannot become a dictator. Yes, there is an independent Türkiye now. A Türkiye that does not serve the West and stands upright. This article is a bespoke article. Most of the readers know the real Türkiye. Don't be funny. Please
Let's send it to England, you are very curious
Dış güçler mülteciler Türkiye de kalsın istiyor. Topluca gönderilecekler diye endişe ediyorlar

If any of you have recently been to Turkey, you will understand why the Turkish people demand their country back. The Turkish people are modern, open, generous und women have a lot more rights. Their culture has been impeded.

The Turks opened their doors to approximately 5 million refugees and gave them their homes. The Greeks, on the other hand, do the opposite. And Europe is quiet.
Erdogan, from Turkey, can blackmail Europe with migrants stocked in Turkey. And Putin’s Wagner mercenaries are wreaking havoc in North Africa. Putin could easily push millions of Africans to flee toward Europe. Russia could give migrants armaments to destroy Europe.
They are going to their homeland. We want to people live in peace.
the guest's return home is not called exile! And they must go back home. how to say English ,so; My Home My Home My beautiful home .
