Syrian Population in Turkey May Reach 5 Million in 10 Years

[Böri]

The population of Syrians living in Turkey can increase to five million in the next 10 years, according to a report by the Ombudsman (KDK) published on Wednesday by the pro-government newspaper Sabah.

The document stressed that even if the war in the Arab country can be ended, many of the 3.5 million Syrian citizens that Turkey hosts will remain in the future because 'they started working and investing, they feel safe, and even if their income is low at least they have jobs.'

It pointed out that many refugees will find it difficult to return to Syria even if the war ends.

One of the indicators to establish that in the next 10 years the population of Syrians could reach five million is the age profile of this group today because 45 percent are under 18 years, which means 1.4 millions of people.

The report also highlights that most of them live scattered in all the provinces of the country, and a part achieved Turkish citizenship, and only 6.69 percent live in refugee camps.

Therefore, KDK stressed the importance of developing permanent and lasting policies for Syrians living in Turkey and suggested the creation of a strong coordinating body to work with the Directorate General of Migration, the Disaster Emergency Agency Management, the Turkish Red Crescent and the Undersecretariat of Public Order and Security, among others.

In addition, and to try to avoid possible social tensions, the institution also recommended that the Housing Development Administration cooperate with local administrations to build new social housing at low cost for Syrian refugees.

This is why they should be treated like subhumans, so they will always remember they are unwanted, and never feel comfortable.

bigger problem is that syrians dont share an ethnic bond with Turkey e.g Afghan Pashtun refugees blend in with their Pakistani kin across border and many have became Productive citizens after assimilation but syrians have to literally construct a new identity in turkey.

It doesn't matter. I don't want people who are ignorant and breed like rabbits even if they are Turkish. They will destroy the little order we have created and become a SERIOUS headache to us in the future. Turkey will fall if we fail to send them back.

That's the same with every sort of refugees and migrants.
When they first come, no refugee talks about his/her identity. That's not the right time.
Because needs follow the Maslow Pyramid order.

First basic needs must be met:
Food and Shelter.
Once that being done, second level comes with psychological needs. It's when you see them trying to express an identity.



Esteem Level for a refugee/migrant is to express the ethnicity and ready to clash with others about it.

I wonder what's going to happen to them when the AKP/Erdoğan regime ends.

Very sad, the fact that many have acquired actual citizenship is bad and it'll be hard to just strip these people of it once Erdogan is gone.

Don't be so optimist, a new government could turn weak. International organizations and EU pressure us to have them permenantly, a weak government would obey it (like Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu)

Erdogan is 64 years old; early or later, his healthy will start to struggle and fall.
