Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan condemned the attacks on Syrian vehicles and businesses in Kayseri, attributing the violence to the opposition’s “poisonous” rhetoric.
Violence erupted in the central Turkish city on Sunday night, as residents attacked vehicles, businesses and homes belonging to Syrian refugees. The unrest followed reports that a Syrian man had allegedly sexually abused a child.
Speaking at a Justice and Development Party (AKP) meeting, he emphasised that violent xenophobic actions are unacceptable, adding that discrimination, marginalisation and hate speech will have no place in party politics.
This condemnation comes amidst growing tensions and anti-Syrian sentiment in Turkish society.
