  1. They are hardly sheltering - they are exploited, badly treated and very poorly fed.

  3. ramazan - Ah, you must be Turkish, then - no wonder you refuse to acknowledge reality! You don't even know what my country is yet you presumptuously criticize it! Get a life.

  4. ramazan - As I told you before, I cannot hold any refugees in my tiny home. You are simply parroting the disgusting propaganda from Erdogan and his men. You do not fool the truly informed.

  5. The laws and policies governing Syrian refugees’ lives in Turkey do not grant them full refugee rights, and the protections these laws and policies do extend have yet to be fully realized. As a result, many Syrians in Turkey still cannot access education, health care, and lawful employment. Furthermore, delays of up to six months in registration for temporary protection mean that some refugees are unable to get basic services and live in fear of being forced to live in a camp or deported. Most Syrian refugees in Turkey are living outside the camps, unlike the situation elsewhere. While 9.12% of asylum seekers in Turkey live in the camps, the rest are trying to survive on their own – many by begging, collecting garbage, or being exploited in the informal economy. A recent study conducted with 604 Syrian workers in Istanbul has found that only 3% receive some form of help, while high levels of unemployment and lack of work permit limit their entry to official jobs. Work permits are highly restricted, and fewer than 20,000 have been issued so far. A comparison between Turkish and Syrian workers shows that Syrian men receive nearly US$95 less and Syrian female workers US$140 less than Turkish male workers’ average monthly wage. Turkey hosts about 2,7 million Syrian refugees and not 4 million as you claimed, which confirms that you are a liar. See https://borgenproject.org/syrian-refugee-camps/

  6. Then there is the large number of Syrian refugee children in Turkey who have been used for sex and organ trafficking: https://borgenproject.org/syrian-refugee-camps/ http://en.farsnews.com/newstext.aspx?nn=13950304000668 https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/7756/turkey-refugees-sex-trafficking https://www.telesurtv.net/english/news/Syrian-Refugees-in-Turkey-Are-Being-Forced-into-Sexual-Slavery-20160403-0014.html
