Why are anti-Syrian sentiments rising in Turkey?

Nearly 80% of Turkish people say Syrians should be deported, as economic woes and political campaigning fuel anger online and riots in the streets.
We spoke to residents in Istanbul about why their attitudes are changing, and Syrians about whether they still feel safe in Turkey.

Arab countries have to take responsibility also because except for Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan who host most of the refugees, Germany alone has more Syrian refugees than the whole Arab world combined.

[@kbs3631]

Wasn't it Turkey alongside the US and Israel who were bombing Syria? So why should anyone else help. The US and Israelis just left that as your problem. Fix up!

[@Pacem321]

The main problem in Syria is the Assad regime and its allies (Russia, Hezbollah, Iran, and foreign militias sponsored by Iran) bombing Syrian cities not controlled by the regime. There are other countries involved in more minor ways (it’s like there’s been some kind of decision to “bring your enemy and fight in Syria”), but the main problem is that world leaders are too afraid to stand up to Russia (which is the reason Assad is still around) to actually provide enough leverage to end the Assad regime’s reign of terror in Syria and try all those involved for war crimes. Basically Assad and Russia are doing (and has done since 2011) to Syrian cities what Russia is doing to Ukraine.

In our country, we have temporary protection status, not refugee / immigrant status. It is therefore not legislated through universal legislation that applies to a refugee or an immigrant. All of them came here on the condition that they return to their country after the end of the civil war. The war is long gone, but these people still live with us in our country. In addition, Mr. Assad has declared an amnesty every year, with the exception of 2017, since 2011 when the conflict began in their country. In short, the war is now over and there is no reason why they should not return. It's been 11 years and that's really enough. We've spent more than $100 billion in total from our own treasury in 11 years, which makes the current recession even worse. As usual the EU is behaving hypocritically, so how much did they give them, 7-8 billion euros? )) Imagine taking care of nearly 8 million Syrians for years, don't you think 7-8 billion euros is a ridiculous amount? In addition, they do not transfer these funds directly to the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey, but to their own associations and so-called "integration" projects. At the same time, they are propaganda for the Europeans and the Syrians here by saying, "We cater to all the needs of the Syrians." That's why we hear silly and funny arguments like "Europe gives you money for us, we don't owe you anything" or "If we're not here, you'll go bankrupt economically, we don't need you, you need us" when we talk to Syrians here. We, the Turkish youth, are tired of the hypocritical EU policies. We are tired of the EU trying to lecture us on humanity while people trying to enter Europe are drowning in the Mediterranean. We are tired of EU/US funded newspapers, journalists and left libertarians calling us fascists. We are not fascists. We do not see these people as inferior to us. We are just realistic. We act rationally. While you weren't able to integrate about 100,000 well-selected people (Stockholm, April 28), you would expect us to integrate millions who were not well-selected. This is unrealistic and unsustainable. These people must return to where they belong in peace as our friends. For them and for all of us. I don't even want to talk about Afghans and Pakistanis because there is no war in their country and they are illegal. I will come to this subject later, but I will not do justice if I do not make the following criticism: the government, which is incapable of protecting our borders, is causing it. They cross our borders literally "on foot". Most of them are not registered. So we don't know if they are terrorists, criminals, deviants or not. In short, we can no longer comfortably walk our streets. Many of these people suffer from PTSD because they went through a civil war. Our view of the world is completely different from these people. Our culture is very different from these people. Likewise, some of those, unfortunately, do not respect our culture. Keep in mind that Syrians are an Arab nation. They have their own community, their own news feed, their own standards. In general, we cannot incorporate these people. And most of them don't want to. Let's look at this issue from a different perspective: Our demographics are intentionally altered. We know that if we do not overcome this conflict, Turkey will also experience what happened to Syria. Salafism is on the rise in Turkey. Salafi movements are also very common among Syrians. Similarly, we see similar Salafi movements among Afghans and Bakees. Please go and watch their videos titled “Caliphate Established in Turkey in 2023” which has garnered millions of views on social media.

Me and my family personally sent many clothes to syrians. However, in recent years Erdogan exceeded the limit and he made many things easy for syrians to get more votes for instance; 1-he gave citizenship to syrians easily. All syrians who go to Turkish universities can take Turkish citizenship 2- He let syrians make business without taxes 3- He gave houses to syrians for free 4- Fleeing the war is a big disgrace for Turkish people so whoever flees war can not be loved by the Turks as tradition. And We Turks think that we are citizenship of this country , we do everything for Turkey but why we can't take advantages of these opportunities. That is why racism and hatred increased a lot and syrians did horrible things. But The main reason of this hatred is erdogan not syrian themselves. Erdogan thinks he helps syrians but what all he did is to make angry the Turks and get more votes

[@lunafringe10]

As a non Muslim Turkish, I really feel for Syrians who had to leave their homes because of the civil war and IS. I hope each and every one of them can have better life standards and experience no racism anywhere they go. Also, I believe that hosting them here in Türkiye's totally natural as a border country whose citizens take pride in being most hospitable. HOWEVER, I believe Türkiye's hosting them in much more numbers than it should given the economic and social circumstances here. I believe Türkiye, other related countries and EU have to cooperate more in order to ensure peace in Syria and host the refugees in a balanced and just way. I'm deeply concerned that individual acts of violence are starting to take place between Syrian/Syrian and Syrian/Turkish individuals as a result of wrong politics. Crime can't be attributed to any ethnic group, it has much more relations with economic and social status obviously. However, expecting the Turkish society with already low economic status and extremely high patriotism to behave like angels after experiencing firsthand or hear some condemned behaviours by ''guests'' would be unrealistic.

The Turkish nation will not allow this. In response, Erdogan began to change Turkey's demographic structure. It quickly began to make millions of Syrians Turkish citizens. When this was realized, the names and surnames of the Arabs who received citizenship began to be hastily changed. In this way, he aimed to reach the sharia-supporting Islamist public opinion he dreamed of and to reach millions of votes instead of the votes he lost. The worst part is; Syrians are doing the stupidest thing they can do. They began to take sides in Turkey's political issues.

As a Palestinian Arab I understand. It’s very hard and more Arab countries should’ve helped but please don’t think all Arabs want to cause problems. I’m not a refugee I’m not from a country like Syria. But now I’m scared to be a tourist in turkey because I’m Arab. I understand that it’s hard. I’m sorry refugees have misbehaved. I don’t deny that some refugees have done these things so I understand that it’s hard.

[@m.aydogmus5834]

​@@tarekj5951 As I said I don't hate arabs. If there were millions of Norwegian refugees in the country instead of Syrians, everyone would hate Norwegians. Turkey is already a crowded country on its own. It is frustrating that people who have destroyed their own country come to Turkey. Because they don't want to be integrated into the culture here. They want to continue the same behavior in Turkey that has destroyed their own country. And this is make me angry because I don't want to lose my country.

Traveled to Turkey last year n natives were so hospitable but Syrian were soooo mean!! Like we were so shocked when we saw their behavior! I’ve been to this country 3 times in the past 10 years n things were so different each time, based on what I see from these (Syrian) ppl no wonder wherever they go they make ppl against them! I really don’t get those who r disrespectful towards their host country n ppl who share their homes with them.

It seems that for the few bad apples among the MILLIONS of refugees, we need to punish everyone? Syria is still a warzone, it is not safe to return, and what will be the fate of many of these Syrians who fled? What if they are met with hostility and retribution by the Bashar-worshipers? You sicken me.

Classic example of one group (in this case the % of Turks who are xenophobic) scapegoating another, less powerful group (Syrian refugees). Despite popular false claims that the war in Syria is “over”, it is first of all: 1) not over, as Assad and his allies Russia, Hezbollah, and various militias are still bombing and destroying non-regime controlled areas. 2) even if it were over, the dictatorial Assad regime is still in power, so making Syrians return would be dangerous because this regime is known to target Syrians who were/have been associated with the opposition through torture, kidnapping, or death via aerial bombardment of civilian targets with the help of the Russian army, just like it does in Ukraine. That said, Turkey has accepted a large number of Syrian refugees and the rest of the world should absolutely follow their example, especially other Arab countries, but I’m not surprised that other Arab countries haven’t done more to help because they are dictatorships themselves and that’s probably why they’re not keen on accepting democratically-minded people who fled their country oui of fear of being targeted by their own dictatorship. The ideal is to END the Assad regime, try him and his collaborators for war crimes, and have UN-monitored democratic elections and peacekeepers in Syria so that the people can live without the constant threat of a horrific death by Assad’s torture machine. In order for that to happen, governments people around the world need to pressure the UN to charge Assad with war crimes and ensure free elections just like the ones you’re lucky to have in Turkey. Syrians WANT to go back home, but nobody wants to live in dread and constant terror. And for those trying to say that Syrians are somehow subhuman or “less than”: consider that the Ottoman Empire violently occupied Syria for hundreds of years. Welcoming Syrians is the least Turkey can do given this history. Also, for those in the comments saying things like “stay strong Turks (against what? Refugees trying to live a normal life? Lol) from XYZ random country” : consider that people from your nationality are viewed with the same kind of disdain in the West as you view Syrians, and consider that countless citizens of your country, which is not at war, have fled to the West. Add to that the fact that EVERY population has bad apples, criminals, or people with mental illnesses, but this is especially common in those who have experienced trauma like war for example. Turkey has a ton of Turkish criminals, but they don’t make headlines because that wouldn’t serve the right-wing scapegoating agenda against refugees. Do you like it if people in the West tell you to go back to your country? Do you like it when they judge your whole group as being criminals stealing the jobs of the locals? No? Then learn to treat others the way you want to be treated.

Many Turkish women have been feeling uncomfortable in the streets because of the young (sometimes even old men) Arab men's attitude toward women. Maybe those Arabic men doesn't mean to scare Turkish women in the streets, but still when making horrible comments, laughing at women walking is disrespectful. Two different cultures though the same religion. Turkish people should be more understanding those refugees situation and those refugees and immigrants should try to learn the law and culture of Turkish people (though changes from region to region but at least if you're in Istanbul, learn the culture there) Malaysia, Bosnia are Muslim countries as well but would never disrespect women walking in the street or sitting in a cafe, just to show off to their friends or to show off he's a strong man.
