At a time when the country has many problems, the refugee crisis is popular again. Someone is persistently serving/enforcing any humanitarian action by Syrians through their social media accounts in a way that will play with the nerves of the Turkish people and provoke them.
It was as if a hidden hand had pressed the button. Is it an effort to cause chaos in the country? Or, we do not know whether it is an effort to create a new survival problem at a time when the footsteps of the elections are heard.
The attack on Syrian refugees, initiated by some politicians following their social media posts, is at its peak. Despite the reversal on the agenda of the opposition for a while, the ruling front embraces the current situation at all costs; When it was revealed in the surveys that Turkey's biggest problem was the refugee crisis, he suddenly changed his mind. The rhetoric of "We will send them to their countries as soon as possible, safely and with dignity," began.
Of course, here is another problem: What has changed in power a month before and a month later, but a 180-degree "U" turn has changed the discourse. I wonder if today's statements are to give the public gas a gas, to pull the adjustment? Or are they really trying to find a solution?
TURKEY'S GREAT SWAMP!
Let's visualize it in our minds and briefly remember the main beginning of the crisis; We are talking about the place where we cleared the mines on the border line, removed the wires, opened the borders, and enabled millions of people to come to our country. You know, the country where we got involved by saying, "We support everyone against Bashar", "We will have a Friday pray in Damascus", "Homs is our red line", "Aleppo is our internal affairs", which we gassed in the Arab Spring, where we ignited the fire of sedition!
Now, let's not put all these events aside and say "Come on to your country" after so many years, and let's not pay the price of the crisis we caused to the refugees who suddenly find themselves in the middle of the fire circle as a result of the neighbours' negligence, and in the international showdown.
Almost no record of the situation of refugees in our country can be reached. Numbers are inconsistent, entries are irregular, information is insufficient. Everything is going in a shambles. We do not know where they are, what they are doing, how much they are doing. Only recently, we heard from the relevant minister that 192 thousand people have been granted citizenship.
The Syrian issue has been Turkey's biggest quagmire since the beginning. Today, the future of these people has been darkened by irregular, unlimited and uncontrolled migration. Think about what a hungry, unemployed, helpless and poor person would do? Aside from their grievances, they have been caused to fall into the dirty networks of criminal organizations. They are also pushed into a criminal environment such as drug and prostitution swamp.
HOLIDAY RETURNS MUST BE ALLOWED!
One of the issues brought to the public agenda was the statement of the junior partner of the government saying, "Those who go during the holiday should not come back," and the agenda changed in an instant.
We think it is right to allow holiday passes. Because, first of all, the state gives trust. Holiday passes should be allowed and return times should be long. For example, when a long holiday such as 90 days is given, those who go can provide themselves with accommodation and job opportunities in this environment and set up order. If they get used to their country again, some of them may not return. Instead of keeping the doors tight on their return and saying leave if you will never come, an environment and opportunity should be created that will provide a basis for them to stay in their country.
So, what needs to be done is to reconstruct the lands under our control with the Euphrates Shield, Peace Plan, and Olive Branch operations across the border, to make them prosperous, to create business areas, to make them attractive, to make investments, to increase the welfare level and to make these places a center of attraction for people who will return. .
SOLUTION!
In this process, our new neighbors are not the Syrian regime; We should not forget that there are Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), National Army and PYD/USA. Considering that Turkish money is used in the first two regions and that Turkey is their only security and neighbors, this region should be treated as a part of Turkey.
The relationship with the Syrian government, which is informal behind the scenes and indirectly through Russia, should be officially made public, and concrete steps should be taken to create the conditions for return.
When refugees are mentioned, only Syrians come to mind, but Afghanistan, Armenia, Uzbekistan etc. It is clear that there are serious immigration inflows from other countries as well. How can refugees easily pass through our borders and reach the country's most metropolitan cities, the capital and Istanbul?
Why are our borders so insecure? Or do they come very secretly, or is someone condoning? How do they cross thousands of kilometers of roads while crossing our borders? Another question mark.
We do not know whether a commitment was made to foreign powers through secret agreements to make Turkey a refugee base, and whether this is being implemented or not.
In summary, the main problem is: How did Turkey turn into a concentration camp for refugees in such a short time? In the last few years, it has been the epicenter of drug trafficking in the world, as well as the focal point of money laundering.
